Swedish one-man assault squad ELM set the bar pretty high with the
“Edge” EP, triggering unprecedented expectations in the old-school EBM
communities across the world. Peter Elm is now seen as the much
anticipated 21st century successor of Electronic Body Music masters like
NITZER EBB, DAF and FRONT 242… Finally some muscled reinforcement next
to SPETSNAZ and other POUPPEE FABRIKK!
“Hardline” will not deceive. True to its title, this album has attitude.
It is strong, raw and menacing. With its powerful vocals, ripping
basslines and stomping beats, this EBM album also combines intelligent
lyrics (in English, German and French) with an astounding production
maturity level that will leave you breathless.
Not surprising, knowing that this well-crafted high quality electronic
album is written and produced by none other than the elektro veteran
Peter Elm (RESTRICTED AREA) and mastered by comrade Pontus Stålberg
(SPETSNAZ). “Hardline” is an assault of lust, rage and uncompromising
aggression and a true wake-up call to all EBM freaks: the ELM revolution
starts NOW!
ELM profiles itself as a non-stop EBM hit-machine. Besides the now
already classic “Edge”, we also get a bunch of other monster club hits
like the modern EBM “Wapenrustning” with its hypnotic basslines and
addictive chorus “Know your place in the food chain” or the massive
brutal track “Kamptrinker” evoking DAF singing on NITZER EBB (or vice
versa?).
With a strict “less is more” sound architectural approach shaping the
red line of this 13-track album, “Hardline” is very well balanced by a
judicious intermingling of darker songs like the almost orchestral epic
opening “Black Sky” or yet the vicious dance floor club track “Pervert”
featuring kinky female vocals by French artist YS ATLOV (whose vocal
backings beef-up several songs from this album). Other more melodic body
pop songs are for example the “FRONT 242 meets AND ONE” groovy song
“Oblivion” or yet the raw title-track “Hardline” with its efficient
synth lines and catchy vocal arrangements. Among other pumping muscled
EBM assaults we get for example the uncompromising “Fighter”, the firm
pure EBM “Paradise” or yet the aggressive French electro stomper
“Envahisseur”.
Enough said? Long life to EBM. Long life to ELM…
This is Electronic Body Music with an “Edge”! “Live - Breathe - Fuck - Feel!”.
