The Horrorist - Separate Dimension FLAC

This is an excellent album, each track is excellent , thanks Mr Chesler !

Here we go! Album#5 from that guy you hate.

Let's get this out onto a tray...

The Hand welcomes us. A quite Hacker vibe. Oblique vocals. YOU’RE THE MACHINE, I AM THE HAND.

Into Our Dreams. Oliver in that desparate, unstable mood. A very unsettling musical backdrop. Unhinged. YOU’RE MY SLAVE.

Blind. Submission mode activated. Frustration merges with passion. NNNGGH. I’D DIE FOR YOU.

Track 4. Programmed. Y’all probably know this one already. Fucking tune. Insane samples, detached vocals, pure EBM. DETAINED, CONTROLLED, PROGRAMMED.

FOR WHOM BETRAYS. WTF is this guitar shit? Oliver needs to give up and work in Walmart. Fucking guitar samples… I’m kidding, it’s nice to hear a different sound. The music’s catchy. But lyrically this one kinda sucks. IT’S THE DARKNESS THAT CALLS.

How do we get REVENGE? Woo, this is better. After the first few seconds you get that classic Horrorist taste. Excellent lyrics, and the song progresses musically to a very cool finale. Love the melodic touch near the end. I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU.

Lay On Me. It buzzes like bees. Quite romantic lyrics. No, seriously. Well, they would be romantic if it wasn’t for those bees. WE ARE IN LOVE.

Separate Dimension. —————————————————————————.—————————

HERE COMES THE WHIP. FIND YOUR PAIN. LOOK AT ME!

The Hell You Live. Wait, what’s this? Absolute Body Control? Sounds like some long lost Minimal Synth masterpiece! Nice one Oliver, this is a class song. Funny backing vocal too (reminds me of Lene Lovich’s Blue Hotel). YOU DESERVE THE HELL YOU LIVE.

Eternity I Search. More smoochy shit. OUR LOVE STAYS TRUE.

Ok. That’s it. No hiss.

So, what do I think? Well, it’s a good album. It’s not very diverse, though. Just a steady flow of typical Horrorist EBM/Techno hybrid material (which is of course his trademark). Lyrically it’s alright, but he’s not very funny at all here. There are no o_0 moments.

It’s decent enough, the best I can call it is “Textbook Horrorist”.

I give it 3 stars out of 5.

*Special mention must be made for the sublime album artwork. Also, thanks to aufnahme + wiedergabe for releasing the vinyl on double LP. I look forward to playing my copy.

Nice.
