The self-proclaimed mercenaries from Funker Vogt have been quiet for almost three years. Following the departure of Chris L. in summer 2021, the band initially took a one-year break before Gerrit Thomas and René Dornbusch were able to recruit singer and shouter Bastian Polak to form the full trio. Many people will already be familiar with the new singer from the duo Intent:Outtake. As composer and producer Gerrit Thomas has already recorded vocals and mixed & mastered for this formation and they have already got to know and appreciate each other, it was certainly no great surprise to some fans that Bastian Polak was hired for Funker Vogt. The sound on Final Construct should bring plenty of epicness with it, as the band has concentrated heavily on songwriting and focussed more than ever on the anthemic character. Almost every one of the 19 newly composed tracks has the so-called single character. Mr Polak proves throughout all the songs on this album and its bonus tracks that he is the right man for Funker Vogt and leaves nothing to be desired in terms of flexibility in vocal range, aggressiveness and melody. They were not afraid of the very epic track Im Auge des Orkans in ¾ time, which is arranged as the outro of the double album and is probably the only real breakout. All the other songs feature the typical, aggressive but always melodic industrial dance beat that we have come to know and love from the funkers.
