Hammering high-tempo hits like "More than Flesh", "Harbinger" or album opener "Killing Protocols" have a prime directive to move your body seemingly coded into them - while more mid-tempo songs such as "Pyrrhic Victory" and "Phantom" slow things down to provide the perfect accompaniment.
For this, their 6th full album, Pre-emptive Strike 0.1 step away from the themes of their last 2 albums "Epos V" and "T.A.L.O.S." – which celebrated both Greek mythology and traditional Greek instrumentation – and revisit instead the same sci-fi tropes that characterized both their earlier 3 albums and "Eternal Masters"… over the top of some of the most stunningly powerful songwriting and programming they have ever produced. For all fans of harsh-EBM/dark electro, "Through The Astral Cold" is a landmark release that through the ages will surely come to stand as an absolute classic album of the genre.
