To Avoid have created a release that is nothing short of monumental with "All Gods Are Gone (Bonus Tracks Version)". This album is not just a collection of tracks but a powerful fusion of industrial and electronic body music, merging tradition with innovation in a way that feels immediate and uncompromising. The original songs are imbued with dark energy and pulsating beats, ideal for both dancefloor chaos and introspective listening. With contributions from some of the most renowned names in the scene, this version elevates the album into a collaborative triumph. The album draws from the raw essence of dark electro and EBM, blending aggression, precision, and dynamic movement. Tracks like "Trust" and "Fireball" are unrelenting in their power, filled with beats that cut through the air like a blade while melodies erupt with intensity. These songs don’t just ask to be heard; they demand physical and emotional engagement, offering an experience as haunting as it is electrifying. Where "All Gods Are Gone" truly shines, however, is in the sheer scope and vision of its remixes. Each track is reimagined with bold creativity, taking the album in multiple directions while maintaining its unifying, dark aesthetic. The remixes transform the originals into expansive new soundscapes, making this album an intricate mosaic of the genre’s possibilities.
Forgotten Sunrise adds their signature blend of mysticism and sharp edges to "All Gods Are Gone". Their remix is both eerie and aggressive, with haunting layers that evoke a sense of otherworldly vastness. The Estonian group brings an almost ritualistic quality, blending the primal with the modern in a way that grips the listener.Kalt’s contribution to "1989" takes the listener into cinematic territory. Their remix injects the track with icy textures and broad, atmospheric swells that feel like standing in the middle of an endless, windswept landscape. It’s expansive and vivid, a perfect balance of movement and stillness.Daniel Myer’s Haujobb remix of "Trust" is a masterstroke of industrial precision. Myer reworks the track into a mechatronic anthem, with sharp, metallic sounds intertwining with hypnotic rhythms. It feels both calculated and alive, like a piece of futuristic machinery pulsing with energy. Gettner’s remix of "Fireball" takes a different approach, calming the original’s intensity and offering a moment of reflection. It’s as though the fire has been banked, leaving behind smoldering embers that still radiate heat but invite contemplation rather than chaos. Tension Control, known for creating tracks that shake the body to its core, transforms "Die In Your Life" into a dancefloor juggernaut. The remix brims with energy, designed to set venues alight with its unrelenting rhythms and infectious grooves. It’s impossible to sit still while listening—this track demands movement. Mildreda’s rework of "The End" dives deep into emotional resonance. Jan and Salva amplify the track’s atmospheric qualities, layering it with an intensity that feels almost cinematic. The result is a haunting yet restrained version that lingers long after it ends. The album concludes with Sleepwalk’s remix of "All Gods Are Gone". Their interpretation emphasizes sharp, futuristic textures, creating a sense of technological precision and mechanical clarity. While it effectively encapsulates the album’s forward-looking aesthetic, some might yearn for a more visceral closing note to round out the experience with finality and grit.
"All Gods Are Gone" is more than a remix album—it’s an intricate collaboration that highlights the strength and diversity of today’s dark electronic scene. From the mystical to the mechanical, the euphoric to the introspective, each track adds depth and dimension to an already powerful release. To Avoid and their contributors have crafted an ambitious and multifaceted work that celebrates the best of industrial and EBM while pushing the boundaries of what these genres can achieve. It’s a collection that belongs on every fan’s playlist, not just as a reflection of the scene’s present but as a glimpse into its future.
