Suicide Commando - Implements o Hell
Released: 1st March 2010
|
Johan Van Roy’s ‘Suicide Commando’, now in its 24th year and, looking at the website, umpteenth album if you include remixes and tape output before the CD market took over the world, have brought out yet another CD packed full of dance floor stompers in the aim of getting all manner of rivetheads and techno-goths to steadily wear out their New Rock/Transmuter boots (delete, or amend as appropriate) way before their due time.
Lovers of the genre can expect a well produced, high quality product, stacked with two-step loving thumpers like the opening track ‘The Pleasures of Sin’, to more melodic, brooding sway-fests like ‘Death Cures All Pain’ and ‘God is in the Rain’. This album also has the potential to reach out of a very niche genre and snare the interest of more open-minded sub-genre enthusiasts, including myself as a metaller. I’m very new to what’s on offer here but would happily sit listening to this kind of stuff in some dingy club and believe me, coming from a metaller, this is a very open-minded statement to make. Purists may want this kind of electro-industrial music to be darker, more in the vein of the classic GGFH. This album, whilst discussing some fairly dark subject matter in its lyrical content, actually sounds more dance floor friendly, therefore diluting a lot of the impact. Still, if it’s a very listenable, every day electro album you’re in the mood for, then ‘Implements of Hell’ may well be a good purchase.
