If in your record player suddenly starts a small, sound earthquake, this inevitably means, you have that ominous pleasure to associate with the latest BLAKOPZ - "As Nations Decay" release. And it is ominous, because it leads to a long-term addiction.
When it comes to comparison with the debut – here is more of everything, it is stronger and harder. That record introduces to the new areas of energetic music. There are loud synthesizers, intense rhythm of the drums. From the beginning until the end the band is not slowing down and engages into dance entertainment. Without unnecessary stops, but at the same time without a sign of breathlessness, artists present a rich musical spectrum.
Sounds on the album are varied and nicely composed. The whole is a successful marriage of hard sound experiences with a political commitment in the text layer. Group in lyrics in a ruthless manner exposes the ignorance of the authorities and the increasing phenomenon of disappointment in a left alone society. "As Nations Decay" is a clear protest against the so-called elites and consumptionism, which is becoming more and more visible every day.
Presented sound causes, there is no respite. This material will suit well both in clubs and at an outdoor party. Despite the use of heavier tones, record is extremely danceable. Unique atmosphere is created by references to older electro and industrial sounds, that are enriched with modern, sometimes trance like sections.
A kind of a protest album directed against the institutionalized structures that are focusing on the pursuit of money, and whose trademark is an ubiquitous greed. So that is how a new sound was created, defining the voice of a disillusioned generation.
