Artist: IPERYT
Album: Totalitarian Love Pulse
Year: 2006
Not too long ago I reviewed the debut EP 'Particular
Hatred' by Iperyt, which turned out to be a real
positive surprise to me. Their "Satanik Terror Metal"
turned out to be a blasting holocaust of sounds, without
losing control of it all, and apperantly Agonia Records
(of which I remember doing the Feldgrau release back
then) was impressed too and signed this band right away.
The first result of this new collaboration is the debut
album 'Totalitarian Love Pulse', which consists of
eleven brand new tracks to explore.
A lot of industrial black metal bands that are using
drumcomputers are a bit overdoing that. They blast the
programming works at full speed, without thinking about
any sign of melody. The latest releases done by
Blacklodge and Impure Domain already showed that there
are bands that actually dó think about melody and
variation, and Iperyt can certainly be added to that
list. 'Totalitarian Love Pulse' contains a lot of
variation and intelligent musical structure, compared to
any other 11-track industrial black metal release. 'The
Silent Murderer' for example has lots of melodic guitars,
without stepping an inch away from their original
industrial black metal approach. 'Abuse You' has thrashy
influences, and very experimental bashing programming
works. 'Calm Regained' is less brutal (although there
are many blasting elements in here too) and more
atmospheric based, while 'Scorched Earth Creed' (the
shortest track) is one Hell of a noisy holocaust. 'Filthy
Criminals' on the other hand is probably the most
experimental track of them all, with wicked guitarwork
(plus solo!), a heavy bassline and extremely insane
programming. The best track on the release is probably 'Wolfcalls'.
It has the most insane programming I've heard in years,
which is excellently mixed with the raw vocals and the
strong and diverse guitarwork.
Although Iperyt is definitely the most diverse
industrial black metal band I know, this doesn't mean
that they're the most accessable one as well. With 'Totalitarian
Love Pulse', they gave true meaning to their description
of "Satanik Terror Metal" once again... need more
explanations? Go and find this one if you dare, unless
you're on prozac because this aint stuff for the weaker
souls.
