Reviewed by: Darklight Steril has completely changed their sound with this album. They are no longer a guitar heavy angst ridden thrashy dark aggressive industrial band. They are now a very energetic techno industrial dance band. I'm probably not as disappointed as I should be because this album is actually very good. I have two albums by Steril already that feature the dark aggressive guitar thrashing edge. So this is actually a good change of pace from that sound. Every track here is meant for the dance floor. The electronic rhythms and beats are very hyper, and will get you moving the instant that the songs begin. There are some slight touches of guitar in places, but this is electronic music for the most part. The songs change quite often switching from insane madness to more mellow and melodic moments that feature beautiful synth harmonies. There is even some synth-pop influences thrown into the mix at times. The singing is very clean, and well done. The singer actually sings with harmony and really shows off his vocal abilities on this album. You can still somewhat recognize the Steril of old in this music, but it's very slight. I personally feel that the band just wanted to try something new and different, and that's exactly what they have done. Some Steril fans might not like this change, but I for one am always up for something new and different.

Reviewed by: Darklight This album is outstanding. I like their previous album "Transmission Pervous", but this one is even better with tighter songs. There is a lot of variety to be found here. This is a German industrial band that blends guitars, electronics, synths, drum beats, samples, and slightly distorted vocals together to create some awesome music. Some songs are very catchy and melodic for the dance floor, while others are extremely angry and aggressive for the mosh pit. There isn't a bad song to be found here. Each track is equally impressive. But the majority of songs found here are aggressive featuring thrashy guitars and screaming mad vocals.

Reviewed by: Darklight Steril is a German Cyber-Core band. They present a unique sound because they include a lot of different emotions in their songs. Their music is created with guitars, electronics, synths, drum machines, samples, and slightly distorted vocals. The songs found on this album blend both melodic moments and screaming rage. The songs might be extremely melodic and catchy for the dance floor one minute, and then explode with heavy aggressive thrashing the next. There are also some slower paced electro goth songs found on this album as well. But this album features songs that are hard-core and aggressive for the most part. If you're a fan of German industrial music, you will like Steril a lot.
