Psyclon Nine - Divine Infekt

Recently the electro scene has got electro clash fever. Bands like Chicks on Speed, Alice in Videoland, Miss Kitten grows as weed and again we are forced to experience pumps, neon and tights. In this nauseous dizziness that allot of us feel it really warms my heart when a band like Psyclon Nine release their debut album which leaves a big burn mark on those awful, shock pink leggings.

Psyclon Nine come from San Fransisco and the members are ner0 and Josef Heresy, but the two take help from Eric Gottesman when they do live appearances. This band gives new hope for that EBM-style that mainly comes from the west was bands like Hocico (during the end of the 90's) and Skinny Puppy (first of all during the 80's) were big icons. They call their music for "Harsh Electro" or "Aggressive Electro" and angry it is. ner0 completely spews out anger against mankind, society and Christianity. Raw and merciless.

An all over excellent album which blows new winds and makes hope for the heavier EBM scene which is every now and then in an incubator.
