First out is a little slow intro track lasting for about a minute. Sort of dark, mystic ambient. Nice start on the album. Track two starts nice and slow too, before a pumping techno beat sneaks in. Dark, mystic movie theme all the way through. Reminds me a lot of the style X-Dream had on their Irritant album, but this is not as massive. Nice pumping track. Track 3 is a really beautiful one. Totally deep, pumping, hypnotic tech trance, with some floating mystic vibes above. After a couple of minutes, it gets quite groovy too. You actually get a jazzy feeling from it! Nice work. Relaxing for homelistening and nice for the early evening dance floor. Track 4 is a really rough tech trance track. Very massive, scary and totally hypnotic. Something for the darkest hours in the night. A track that both, techno heads and trance freaks should appreciate. Track 5 is a drifting track with rough edges. You find mystic vibes also here. We also get some floating vibes that makes it very trippy. Track 6 is the most rough track on this album. Pure, rough, noisy industrial sounds and some kind of electro beats. Something for those who want it more experimental and industrial.
Track 7 takes us into a quite slow, smashing techno beat. This is definately best at night. Dark and rough all the way through, with a bit of scary industrial influences sneaking in. Those who likes techno, should definately check this out. Track 8 sounds really evil. Here we are moving further away from techno and into pumping trance vibes. Still a track that both techno djs and trance djs should be able to play. Hypnotic and trippy with a rough edge. Track 9 is a really pumping track. Still with a hypnotic vibe through the entire track, but I missed some more variation in this one. Track 10 takes us back to a very techy place again. But, here we also get some melodic influences, which sounds really great in between all the rough, dark vibes. Nice one. Track 11 is a very experimental chill out track. Totally dark ambient with evil soundscapes. At the end of this album we get a couple of bonus tracks... Track 12 starts after about a minute. Here we get a totally pumping track. Something that for sure will make some fun on a techno dance floor! The last track (bonus track) is one of the most rough techno tracks I have heard lately. Still very hypnotic and it will for sure do good for a techno audience, but might be too rough for the major trance crowd.
This is a really strong debut album by Metalogic! I really like it. You find so much variation in an album you thought would be minimal... Something for those who like it hypnotic, techy and rough!
