Chemnitz-based artist Pedro Engel strikes back with a powerful
third album. With the promising title of "The Enemy", ACYLUM's
new CD has all features necessary to be elected best dark
electro album of the year, blowing away all standards of the
genre. Distancing himself even more from the myriads of
Hellektro clones, ACYLUM takes his very own dark electro style
and throws it onto the battlefield, facing the enemy without any
compromise. The assault is relentless with solid harsh beats,
hammering drums, 'punch-in-the-face' provocative lyrics, massive
orchestral arrangements and intensely harsh vocals.
On this new CD, ACYLUM shouts his hate out clear and loud
against humanity's sickest sides and chases his own personal
demons. Battle after battle, song after song ("Achh", "The
Enemy", "Torture Tactics") ACYLUM reveals his ascending power,
excelling as usual in what he enjoys calling his 'anti-club
songs'. These massive mid-tempo multi-layered tracks mix dark
noise, dramatic heavy electronics and melodic moments. In his
continuous sound progression and quest for new inspirations,
ACYLUM also focuses on intelligent contrasts and challenging
opposites, adding the unique female vocals of Nadine "Cooraz"
Hagenbeck (HAUSHETAERE) who at special moments reinforces
melodies and adds a dramatic tone to ACYLUM's apocalyptic tunes.
Male and female vocal duets reach devastating heights on songs
like "Zyclon B", "Kategorie C" or the brilliant pearl "Lightning
Child", ACYLUM's most contagious song to date!
As if returning victorious from electro/industrial warfare was
not enough, ACYLUM raises a sign here with "Raise Your Fist", an
instant raging club hit that will trigger a tsunami effect on
dancefloors all over the world. Throughout his three albums,
the East German artist has gained a huge amount of sound
identity and production maturity and has grown today into a
dominating force on the dark electronic scene. No compromise, no
failure.
The ACYLUM war-machine is marching your way, raise your fist and
join the master on his raging ascension. Beware: "The Enemy" -
this album holds harsher and darker material than any previous
releases in the genre, beating :WUMPSCUT: and even SUICIDE
COMMANDO's respective early work.
This limited deluxe carton box edition includes the bonus remix
album "Der Feind" presenting some 15 re-interpretations of
tracks from the album by various artists including the likes of
VON THRONSTAHL, LEAETHER STRIP, SUPREME COURT, FGFC820, IMPLANT,
