After a couple of years from "Filth, Lust, Lies", TV are back with their new album (the second) which is simply titled SKIN. If on the first album the band sound was an intriguing kind of industrial e.b.m., on the new one the sound is a bit less aggressive but it is really interesting how the band managed it, creating a mixture of late Clock D.V.A. (do you remember the whispered voice of Adi Newton on tracks like "Eternity"?) and Front Line Assembly. Tracks like "Neurotic love" or the following "Kind of devotion" have a sort of driving evil atmosphere where the rhythm isn’t the main thing. It’s good to see how the band made different musical influences join together as the album alternate classic e.b.m. songs like "Skin deep", "Culture", "Vortex of pain" or the closing "Heart body mind" with tense tracks based on long synth pads and dark vocals. There’s no need to say that the band succeeded into the test of the second album and they are worth your attention.
