Old-school industrial meets ambient soundscapes as maverick Australian act returns with startling second album!
Probably the most enigmatic member of the DWA artist roster, youthful
Australian producer Eugene Nesci arrived unheralded in 2011 with the
critically-acclaimed “Exhilarate & Disgust” – a mammoth 15-track
epic debut album of diverse electronica that blended elements of early
EBM, ambient and martial-industrial.
A dark electronic soundscape worlds away from the beat-driven majority
of modern industrial releases, VPROJEKT’s standout sonic signature
quickly caught the ear of no less a scene-figurehead than Johan van Roy
of SUICIDE COMMANDO – who not only asked permission to include the track
“Warlord” on his “World Wide Electronics 2” sampler, but also agreed to
contribute guest vocals to one of the bonus tracks of the (now sold
out) 2CD Limited Edition.
After almost 3 years quite literally “in the wilderness”, Nesci has
returned without warning as abruptly as he originally arrived, armed
again with another incredible sonic collage which – while clearly
referencing a variety of “old school” industrial influences (spot the
name-checking of :Wumpscut: and NIN releases hidden amidst the lyrics) –
sounds uniquely unlike anything else.
With a greater emphasis on organic instrumentation like guitars, and a
complex multi-layered and experimental vocal sound pushed to the fore,
“Wounds In The Age Of Healing” will sound both familiar and developed to
fans of VPROJEKT’s 2011 debut – retaining the epic complexities that
defined that record while for songs like “Killer Instinct”, “Don’t
Blink” or the single “Strict Command” adopting a more linear and direct
approach.
Given the recent popularity of “retro” sounding acts like YOUTH CODE and
3TEETH, the timing could hardly be better for VPROJEKT to return – with
a new record that seems likely to appeal both to a very current
audience and also those of a previous generation pining for “old school
sounds”.
