The young and growing Swedish label Progress Productions surprises with a new signing from northern territories of this country compared to the previous releases like the young PUPPYan-influenced NECRO FACILITY for example. Because RED CELL play globally said Electro/EBM-Metal Crossover. "Nothing new", some of you would normally argue, but better listen to this remarkable release before you judge too early. I haven’t heard any comparable release, especially with a critical look to some Cold Wave acts hailing from the USA, which gives such a strong dedication on quality EBM/Electro structures like this one. The electronic elements definitively win the fight against the guitar-driven acoustic elements. Genre-typical distorted, so I would qualify the vocals – they make here an evil and powerful appearance but can not surprise. More surprised I am of course by the already mentioned electronic elements which are not only thrown in to get some strange effects. These electronic are in here to build the leading elements in the music compositions this band has to offer, it doesn’t sound cheap and avoids mostly all cheesyness, and with "New Law" you can find also a pure Dark Electro piece with a remarkable melodic element. Satisfaction for all purists is guaranteed here! Other favorites I have found here in "Nothing" with the maybe most effective melodic line here, as well as "Naked", which hits the target with its hard ripping EBM sequences, good melodic influence and – I must say it – redundancy with the guitars. The only flaw I can find on this release – and this really disturbs me – is the definitively too short playing time of about only 38 minutes. You get 38 minutes full of excellent and powerful produced EBM/Industrial-Metal Crossover music for sure, but will the listener accept a short playing time when he can get a full packed CD for the same money from a different band out of this genre? Well, the music is above all averages.
