yelworC is the solo dark electro-industrial music project
of Peter Devin. After several years of silence, Peter finally rises
again to deliver this sixteen track collection of some of the best dark
electro I've heard in a while.
This is a concept album inspired from Dante's Divine Comedy (aka Dante's
Inferno) which is about a journey through hell. And this CD does sound
like a long dark journey. This is not the type of CD where you can pick
out club hits, because there isn't any. This CD was designed to be listened
to from beginning to end.
As soon as you press play on your audio player, your journey begins.
The music grabs hold of you and doesn't let go until it's over. The
songs offered here are a blend of structured and experimental styles.
This allows for them to be both beat heavy and artistic all at the same
time.
The electronic programming is quite varied with a lot happening constantly
while heavy beats, samples and somewhat distorted male vocals overlay
haunting melodies. Some songs are energetic and aggressive, while others
are more mellow and moody. There are even a few orchestrated dramatic
instrumentals that add even more emotion to the mix.
What I like most about this CD is how creative and interesting the music
is. There's so much to hear that you will never get bored. This is not
dance music for clubs. This is music that makes you pay attention to
it and really lose yourself in it.
With sixteen tracks you're given a lot of music here, and it's all good.
There's so much going on that you can't help but be hooked. This is
a very dark and disturbing emotional ride that you will enjoy taking.
If you enjoy electro-industrial music similar to Das
Ich, Hocico,
In Strict Confidence,
Leaether Strip,
Velvet Acid Christ
and :wumpscut:, this
CD is for you.
