Amduscia is a dark electro-industrial band from Mexico that sound very similar to Cenobita, Hocico and Punto Omega. There's nothing really new or different about them, but they still manage to deliver quality energetic and aggressive dark electro music with angry distorted vocals.

The music is upbeat and energetic with a slight sci-fi technoid EBM sound, but the vocals are so distorted that they don't really fit all that well. Basically, the music and vocals don't seem like they go together. Slightly clearer vocals would have been better in my opinion.

What saves this album is the fast paced exciting music. The songs are driving with manic programming, heavy beats and dark melodies. Every track here could be a club hit. And even though the distorted vocals sound a little out of place, they still help to give the songs power.
