Decoded Feedback – DisKonnekt

2012-10-26 / Fairycharlotte / Reads: 3452

Decoded Feedback is one of my favourite bands, even though I am a bit selective as far as their work is concerned. I perceive their style, described by the artists themselves as dark electro-industrial, as really moving, quite unique and one of its kind. In their music, I love the...

Tear - Clear Message

2012-10-25 / Ewelina Leopold / Reads: 3660

The essence of electronic mysticism with a great dose of dynamic. This is precisely "Clear Message" – debut album of Czech project Tear.
