Audioplug - X-Posed

Greek Audioplug play a form of modern EBM with influences from Dark Rave with heavy bass, rhythmical tones and they also have a thing for synthetic and unsynthetic choirs. It feels almost like a harsh and evil Scooter, but much better.

This group is Rafael, Dimitris and Elsa, they have played together since 2002 and the record "X-posed" is their debut album after some tracks on compilations like 'Orkus compilation XVI' and 'Greek Electro 01'.

This album holds powerful tracks like "I'm Perilous", "X-Posed" and "Acidify Me", but the one that really makes an impression is the song "Hyperion Sun" where the lyrics are taken from the Homeric Hymns for Zeus, Gia and Sun. The track is performed in a Latin based language and I really think the band should have performed all their songs in this way. That would have made Audioplug a little bit extra exciting in a genre were it's hard to stand out these days.
