Artist: NEON:SYNTHESIS
Album: Promo004
Year: 2004

I was having a look on a thread on the Kovenant forum. The thread was meant for people to promote their band. Neon:Synthesis was promoted over there by Seth. I was curious and I took a look. An action I never shall regret!

Their first promo, simply called Promo004, is the work I first had a listen to. This three track promo is the first work of this Italian band. They play some kind of industrial metal with gothic influences. The first track is called Rays Of Mind. This song shows some good industrial metal, in vein of new Kovenant, a little of Diva Destruction and more. This song is not that powerful (although from time to time it is, specially at the end), but the atmosphere and the industrial elements make this song to one of the best new songs I’ve heard lately. The chorus is beautiful. After this one, Solitude and Fear follows. Evil sounding intro, followed by a song which remembers me to Samael and Malmonde. This song shows me again the great talent of the vocalist. Love the samples on this song! Last track is the powerful song called The Prophet. Many metalheads will concider this one as the best track on the promo, but I don’t (mine is Rays Of Mind). The track is great indeed, it combines powerful industrial with some technical great vocals and some guitars to make the picture complete. But it’s not just power in this song.. also an intermezzo with high clean vocals and synths, followed by some great industrial sounds. So, Kovenant fans, Deathstars fans, and fans of bands common those, meet this band you wont regret!

Vote: 88 / 100
