The latest release by Jesus Complex, "Greetings From The Dead", is a pleasant surprise that offers plenty of variety. In today'ss dark electro/industrial scene, it isn't often that I hear anything that really stands out in my mind as being unique or even has a semblance of originality. Jesus Complex definitely has something new to offer (for me, at least). The music has a melodic harsh- ness with just the right amount of grimy noise thrown in. The bass on "Greetings From The Dead" is excellent, and does a great job of pounding the listener into submission. The synthetic orchestrations are nice and thick, and add a fair amount of horrific gloomi- ness without going over the boarder into the region of sounding 'campy'. There are also touches of guitar on this CD, but they are never overwhelming. The vocals are also done quite well, and have a decent amount of variety of their own; that is, in the way they're presented (i.e. the variety of effects used on them). There are definitely songs on this release that would fit well in a club setting, like one of my favorites on the CD, "Bone By Bone". Other stand-out songs are ôMurder Is The Only Revengeö, which is very reminiscent of Suicide Commando, yet still manages to not sound like a copy, and the slowly pulsing "It's Cold In Hell". To be honest, all the songs are good. The only one I didn't really like was "Worry", and only because it is a straight forward punk song. Don't get me wrong, because I love punk and it's a good song; it just sounded totally out of place on this CD. With that minor complaint out of the way, I can honestly say that Jesus Complex's "Greetings From The Dead" is a release that every fan of dark electro/industrial should check out.
