Artist: NEXT WASTE
DIMENSION
Album: Schizmatic EP
Year: 2006
November 23rd, 2003. The Industrialized Metal Webzine
was still unexisting, and I was at the ‘Metalbash’
festival in Den Bosch, Holland. The main stage was
filled with some cool bands like Epica and Machine Head,
but I personally payed more attention to the small stage.
Four local bands had the chance to show their stuff to
the audience over there in a contest, which were
Textures, Solarisis, Darkdayrising (from my
neighbourhood yo!) and Next Waste Dimension. Since
Darkdayrising was the only one I knew, I was rather
curious about the other bands. Textures was too
technical, Solarisis too much of the same, but Next
Waste Dimension caught my attention with their fresh,
industrial sound and powerful live show. Currently, its
January 22nd, 2007. I always kept an eye on Next Waste
Dimension, and they played on the Industrial Cumming
Back tour three days ago. Here in my hands, the
Schizmatic EP. This EP contains as much tracks as band
members and was released last year.
“Dead Soil” is the first track of this EP. It contains
brutal vocals and a cool guitar riff, but the coolest
thing is probably the electronic intermezzo. Next Waste
Dimension proves with songs like these that they still
keep on improving and better using their talents. The
heavy drumwork from time to time makes this song even a
little bit more brutal than it already was. “Sigma XI”
is a song that sounds very Samael influenced, with very
atmospheric keys and a bashing chorus. The sampling has
an electronic attitute here and there, which fits the
song excellent. The next song is something you couldn’t
have expected, though maybe some of you could. “No Good
(Start The Dance)” is a crazy Prodigy tribute, in where
they mix some parts of the original song with their own
brutal style. They managed to mix brutal (death) metal
likely elements in the song without losing the danceable
touch. And for the real metalheads, watch out for the
brutal intermezzo in the song, because thats what you
are waiting for in this song. In my opinion this
cover/tribute is one of the very best I have ever heard.
An EP filled with three tracks and lots of good comments
indeed. Next Waste Dimension clearly is ready for a
label deal, and so they have, because last year they
signed a label deal with Under Her Black Wings, which
will release their debut album. And guess who will be
the one that looks forward to it already...
