&
Violet Black Orchid
Split Single
Track Listing
1. Bytet -- Anything (3.33)
2. Bytet -- Tension (3.31)
3. Violet Black Orchid -- Kiss (5.06)
Bytet opens up on this
split single with synths spinning their way around heavy drumming, bass, what sounds like
guitar, whirring keys and eerie vocals with the quirky track: Anything. Tension
on the other hand, is more harmonic in the vocal department, more electro fast paced
beat/tempo, and spacious keyboard chords.
Venturing out of Bytet and into Violet
Black Orchid, the single takes a change in direction with the dark-core ominous track:
Kiss. More EBM in nature, Kiss evokes an immediate assumption of a
warning by the very nature of the steady backbeat that drifts in and out of the non-stop
heavy driven overall tempo and foreboding lyrics/vocals.
Excellent
release.
