Sielwolf "Nachtstrom"

<p>This being the 3rd release on Van Richter from Sielwolf, it is in my opinion the strongest yet. This album does not rely on guitar samples as much as the previous two. It creates a very hard sound mainly through percussive and keyboard electronic execution. The album starts with the very catchy dance floor hit "Korrosion". The intense percussion sets the tone for the whole album. All the lyrics are done in German for the entire album, and are more of a dark evil whisper and not as distorted as the last album. "Werstarker Zerstort" is done in Sielwolf tradition, a very heavy and menacing track. Perhaps my favorite. The title track goes through many stages, from its quietly whispered beginnin to its pounding aggresive end. "Embryo" and "Embryonal" tracks are great droning drug induced standards. The tracks "Freitag" and "Ghost Track" are both 10 minute factory tripping ambient songs along the lines of Neubaten or TG. This shows their diversity in the genre of industrial music as they embrace both heaviness and disturbed tranquility. And finally the track "Vengessen" shows another new side to Sielwolf with its funky clean guitar line and groovy bassline, this track would be great in a futuristic Cheech n Chong movie. Overall a most satisfying album to those like me with an appetite for many flavors of true industrial.</p>
