This release will definitely be in the running for album of the
year! Here to prove that there is still talent around to be
discovered and that electronic music can be more than just the
average boom-boom club noise of today, the one-man American
outfit, HALO IN REVERSE, fits broadly into the
electro/industrial rock genre, mixing trashy guitar with
depressive piano rolls, and aggressive intricate electronics,
all fused together with Joshua Steffen's raging sexuality and
high energy synthesizers.
The music draws on influences as diverse as DEPECHE MODE, PETER
GABRIEL, MINISTRY and even ROB ZOMBIE; however, it is with NINE
INCH NAILS' early and more aggressive days that HALO IN
REVERSE's music is the most easily compared. If obviously
following the direction brought by Trent Reznor, Joshua Steffen
is definitely doing his own thing, combining emotional melodies
with caustic synthesizer and guitar textures, mixing the organic
with the synthetic in a melange that is as enticing as it is
aggravating. His most striking and dominant unique
characteristic is his passionate and intoxicating voice: strong,
decadent, artfully lustrous and dreamy.
On "Trials and Tribulations" Steffen presents the ultimate
display of an artist taking his powers to the utmost, focusing
on musicianship and solid songwriting, resulting in both great
music and strong lyrics. An album that reveals awesome
production work and a degree of musicianship seldom seen around
these parts, on which the music just flows and influences
combine fluidly. An album filled with emotion and the pain that
only love can bring us when it is no longer returned. Betrayal,
bitterness, depression and sexuality set the scene for this
industrial/electro pop-rock chef d'oeuvre of pure sensual
intensity. You will play it again, and again, and again... and
again until the tears end up flowing... A cleansing experience!
This limited carton box edition contains a bonus disc including
five exclusive songs plus eleven alternative versions and
remixes of tracks from the album by other artists...
