A good two years have passed since their last album "Frontiers",
but the long wait is over and expectations are high for the
project's third studio album, considering that its predecessor
took the dancefloors of the global club scene by storm and stood
its ground among the top positions of the German Alternative
Charts for a full eight weeks!
"Reasons to Kill" consists of 11 tracks featuring a wide range of
electro music, with driving beats and those unmistakable melodies
that SOLAR FAKE specialise in, sounding danceable and haunting
without being blunt. Remaining true to their chosen path, the
duo from Berlin neither repeat themselves nor become unfaithful
to their own sound. Diversity has been a central theme ever
since SOLAR FAKE first arrived on the scene, so it's not
surprising that "Reasons to Kill" features trance influences
alongside dub step, industrial and EBM elements, without falling
prey to cliches.
Songs such as "My Spaces" and "Face me" blend aggression and
beauty as if it was the most normal thing in the world. Tracks
like "I'd Rather Break" and "I Hate You More Than My Life" turn
into floorfillers in no time, just like the ingenious "Reset to
Default", which is already available as a free download and is
well-known. Naturally, the album also features highly distorted
sounds in the two violent industrial hits "My Bleeding Heart" and
"When I Bite". By contrast, "Reasons to Kill" also includes two
somewhat melancholy numbers: "Rise and Fall" and the closing song
"The Pages", which develops from a noisy piano ballad into a
danceable electro wave track.
A cover version seems to have become an essential element of
every SOLAR FAKE album, and the new album is no exception. This
time they've given "One Step Closer" (originally by LINKIN PARK)
the SOLAR FAKE treatment. Who would have thought that so much
pressure could be produced without guitars? Sven explains: "I
tried a number of different synthesizers to get a sound that does
justice to this song. In the end I simply played everything
through the guitar amps and recorded the result."
Again Sven Friedrich's incomparable voice succeeds in stirring
all kinds of different emotions in his audience, from
goosepimples to aggression. After the release of this album the
charismatic vocalist will no longer be pigeon-holed with his
'rock bands' ZERAPHINE and DREADFUL SHADOWS, as he has firmly
established himself as an indispensable part of the electro
scene.
