Another debut out on BLC Productions, but for this band hailing from France it is already the second full-length CD after the own released "Yell of Fright" CD (distributed and co-released in Europe by Pandemonium in 2003). OBSZÖN GESCHÖPF, so the German band name, translated it means "obscene creature", consists of Remzi Kellici and he presents on this album his kind of Dark Electro/EBM music. The band name and several names from the track list like "Face of Swine", "Strip of Flesh", "Hate and Despair" or "Dead Christ" will give you a hint of what kind of music you can expect here. Thematically based on crimes, sex, horror/splatter and all black chapters of human being, Remzi plays a somewhat old-fashioned minimal Electro music with some similarities to SUICIDE COMMANDO’s first works like "Critical Stage" or earlier combined with some more steady EBM-influenced baselines. Adding to this some raw sawtooth sequencer works and rarely included strange Alien-like vocal performances which give some tracks a binding hypnotizing approach ("Resist" or "Fright Night"). This is surely not new or in any case something innovative - but it has an own charismatic feeling. It cannot be compared with the often and over-polluted "We sound like SC/Tactical Sekt-attitude" where too much bands are trying to copy simply the mentioned acts – no, this has a more classic touch and also the sounds of this have an analogue edge. Outstanding tracks to my taste are the both dancefloor stompers "War" and "Dead Christ", on the more hypnotizing kind of this band I would recommend the already mentioned "Resist". If you look for the real dark and sick EBM with a nostalgic touch you can’t go wrong with the OBSZÖN GESCHÖPF. Keep on your style, Remzi!
