Review

From the EBM forges at Noise Terror Productions ( the sister label of Dependent Records ) headed up by Suicide Commando mastermind Johan van Roy, comes the much anticipated release from Poland's Controlled Collapse. If Poland wasn't always synonymous with quality control in the past, Controlled Collapse are proof that the former Eastern Bloc has become a musical force to be reckoned with. Their debut "Injection" is a mix of hard Electro ( "Liar", "Impact" ) and pure EBM ( "Selfless", "Dreams" ) with its sights set squarely on the dancefloor. Those who normally steer clear of the brutal, heavy sounds of bands like Agonoize, Amduscia, Hocico, or Virtual Embrace should give Controlled Collapse a chance : the project owes a far greater musical debt to material in the vein of early Velvet Acid Christ. Moving freely and quickly between the poles 'hard', 'variable', and 'manic', the duo from Lódz have created an album packed with clever ear candy which should find a loving home in many a Hellectro-free CD collection. Tracks featuring guest vocalists like Flesh Field frontwoman Wendy Yanko ( "Solitude" ) or Psyche's Darrin Huss ( "Fulfillment" ) provide an almost technopop counterpoint to the album's harsher elements.
