X-Fusion - Ultima Ratio

2012-05-18 / Consolatrix / Reads: 4183

The one-person project X-Fusion is one of the few which doesn’t need to be introduced to anyone having a serious affair with electronic music. Jan L. has proved many times that he is a true independent artist who freely creates a new, gloomy music space. Each successive release surpassed the...

It is well known, that X-FUSION formation, or rather John L. He, is a true pearl of dark independent in terms of building the climate. Although the measures of the very building are not too complicated - the whole album is interspersed with slower and faster rhythms almost alternately -...

Xotox's latest endeavour is every bit as ferocious and resonant as all of the albums that preceded it since the German act's début in 1998. With Schwanengesang Andreas Davis, band's sole member and creator hopes to celebrate the 15th anniversary of his unstoppable rhythm noise creation and he does so...
