KOOPER KAIN - TURNING CITIES TO SALT























































Kooper Kain "Turning Cities to Salt" Album Review
Album Description
With their exhilarative debut album, "Turning Cities to Salt," Kooper Kain firmly establish their powerful sound as well as an unrelenting talent for experimentation and the setting of mood. From destined-to-be club favorites such as the electrifying "Flicker, Flicker & Out" and "Icy Stars" to the hearbreakingly beautiful croon of "Orchid," the band demonstrates both impressive diversity, and remarkable depth. A brilliant blend of electronica, brooding experimentation and crunchy guitars, Turning Cities to Salt is receiving ever-growing support from club and radio DJs throughout Canada, the U.S. and Europe. Recorded and mixed entirely in the band's own studio, Head Down Productions, the CD also features the guest talent of fellow Canadian (and former Mr. Underhill frontman) Nim Vind. It is a debut not to be missed!
PANZER AG - THIS IS MY BATTLEFIELD














































Panzer AG "This is My Battlefield" Album Review
Weak, but...
This *Does* sound like a 'Combichrist'/'Icon of Coil' mix. If this is good or bad for you will determine how you will like this album. If you don't know who 'Combichrist' or 'Icon of Coil' is, don't worry. Andy LaPlegua also created these two bands, and while `Icon of Coil' deals with longer, deeper lyrics (I stress the `lyrics' part because the lyrics aren't exactly something to be desired); and Combichrist, with its choppy one-word songs and techno dance beats, `Panzer AG' has a bit of both. Now, onto this album...
`This is My Battlefield' has maybe three or four songs that are even worth listening to. Four out of fifteen. The rest of them are filler. The ones that are worth listening to, have somewhat deeper lyrics and one that you can slightly bang your head to, but even these good ones are weak. I'm not saying it's an album to avoid at all costs. Some people might like the tedious `God Eats God'. Some people might sit through `Chemical Breed'. But it all depends on whether or not you'd like to listen to a `Combichrist'-like album, and if the lyrics aren't of much importance. Most of the lyrics are anti-God, bow-to-the-machine that is the main theme for many Electro, Industrial bands. And if that's for you, then this is your album.
