Arise-X - Dogma

On the German industrial act’s 4th album, the band continues its style consistently and yet again takes different paths. The danceable electro-industrial sound remains, but new facets have been added: Expect a mix of Dark Electro, paired with influences from other genres. Electronic, hard, danceable and yet always melodic and with hooklines that get stuck in the ear. Even though the majority of the songs are clearly aimed at the dancefloor, there are also quiet and thoughtful moments that show the band from another side. Not least through the use of the female voices of singers Patricia and Maureen, a soundscape is created that goes far beyond the boundaries of usual dark electro acts!

Predominant, however, is the screaming lead voice of singer Peloquin, whose roots in black metal remain audible. Lyrics-wise, loss, war, death, love, Germany in transition and social injustice are the topics that are touched.
