The American project Die Sektor, after their phenomenal debut, kept us waiting long for the next album. The band conquered hearts of the fans with a powerful, trance beat and a characteristic modified vocal – thus perfectly fitting into the frames of the genre. Gant and Denman manager to keep their creativity, that is why the motives popular in their performance took quite an original form. The next album was not expected to be anything more than this: well-composed beats with strong vocals and a little bit of taste. When Applied Structure In A Void finally got into the fans’ hands, some people were surely slightly shocked. It was supposed to be ruthlessly zappy, whereas…
The album opens with strong, fast Accelerant which implies tremendous speed on the release and a really high level. Musically – still close to what was known from the debut album. It is indeed a well-measured, balanced track - it operates well with hard beat and slightly lighter arrangements. Dissector and Fall To The Noise are the first surprises - more reflexive, having a less repetitive combination of beats, sometimes reaching for the industrial noise and a more delicate, filed vocal. They contrast with the experimental Heaven Sent Hell Embraced, which sound closely similar to what is very characteristic for EBM and dark electronics. Death At First Light is almost a fairy-like piece, delicately electronic and clear, a romantic pearl balancing the pulse. The tension and the heavier sounds return in Corpus Accido – enriched with a fantastic leitmotif which gradually turns into a complex of mutually intertwining strong, catchy beats. In His Mercy All Will Perish is definitely a very industrial one, uneven, unrhytmical and bravely experimenting with various sounds: from deep beats up to torn samples. Both Bleed Till The Last Light Flickers and First Murder After The Flood balance on the verge of dark electronics and more unseasoned, psychedelic sounds. The mood is smoothed with atmospheric Infernal, delicate and slowly fading, turning into Divide To Dust crowning the album. The last track reaches for the most common tricks of the genre: it combines harshness with synths, interlacing film samples into the whole.
Applied Structure In A Void is a really good album. Instead of the expected hard, venomously electronic release, we received an interesting, experimental entity. The band surprises on one hand with their sill to compose industrial motives with smooth synths, on the other hand – balances well between expressiveness and softness. It is a very well-considered, elaborated album, diverse and multidimensional. In fact, I think it does miss one or two more dynamic accents in the mood of the debut album – this would break a curse of plastic beats which sometimes irritate and distract, as there’s too much of them there. Nevertheless – it’s a solid, mature material, for every enthusiast of the genre. And if the next album will be equally good – let’s wait even for a decade.
