With the signing of the Powernoise act H.I.V.+ from France the polish label Black Flames adds another very different musically project to their rich stable, when we don’t count the Belgium band STIN SCATZOR to this genre. H.I.V.+ is an industrial legend to life time, a solo effort done by Pedro Penas y Robles, originally born in Spain. Fans and friends of the Powernoise genre know this project already very well through three own full length CD’s and several collaboration efforts in this scene. What you get here tells the title of this new CD and also the cover art with a bloody air very well – almost all kinds and styles of harsh, distorted, rhythmic, electronic Powernoise. Already after the first listening you can easily realize the strong effort to avoid the too much typically flaws like the pure monotonous redundancy this kind of music often offers. Pedro has produced an album filled with own tracks as well as some remix works to give his audience a wide view into several kinds of his style. We can hear some attractive Dark Electro cuts like "Illegal Tanz (Extended Club-x) " and "Havoc 2027 (Electro Dark Mix)", both manipulated by BAK XIII, as well as harsh noise tracks like "Testament" or "Feedback 1968" which can also set the dancefloors under fire. Mixing to this some Ambient and atmospheric tracks like "Broken Childhood" gives the whole album a pretty diversity feeling. Not to forget the stomping tribute to NITZER EBB named "Body Electric" which could also find its way into the clubs. This "Rotten Beat Manifesto" can easily satisfy the listeners of both music genres, Powernoise and Dark Electro and I can only recommend to give it a try!
