Artist: TECHNY-CALL X
Album: Start The Process
Year: 2006

Techny-Call X is a new band hailing from France. It consists of ex-members of Seth (wellknown black metal band), Monarchia Daemonium (extreme metal band) and more. ‘Start The Process’ is the first result of this new collaboration of different scenes. It contains four tracks, with a total time of 17 minutes.

‘Ascendancy’ happened to be a dark, ambient likely intro, but when ‘Erasing’ starts, some surprisingly cool sounds are blasted through my speakers. Dark EBM sampling is mixed with a heavy bassline and dark distorted guitarwork, accompanied by vocals that really reminds me to Samael. The song is decently build, a little danceable, but above all dark and very atmospheric. ‘Start The Process’ contains more guitars than the preverious track, but it doesn’t affect the darkness level in the song. A great atmospheric track, with some beautiful synth parts hidden behind the metal. There’s a certain catchy tone in this track too. ‘Deliverance’ is not made to break with the same dark atmosphere, fortunately. It’s again a song build on an EBM spine, with dark vocals and metal guitars. It has some great EBM intermezzos, that might even appeal to fans of Suicide Commando and :Wumpscut:.

After listening to this demo, I am still stunned by its quality. In these times, when a lot of new industrial metal bands seem to get birth, it’s hard to find quality debut releases like this one. Fans of bands like Samael, Malmonde and newer bands like The Sin:Decay should definitely check this band and this release out! The only bummer of this release is that it just contains three tracks and an intro, I would die for this to be a full lenght release!

Vote: 95 / 100
