Industrial-EBM
with a dark twist would best describe this debut release by Carbon Haze, Full
Code. Drawing on influences as diverse as Clock DVA and Sisters of Mercy,
The songs on this release "carry a warning of mass destruction, technological
chaos that is to be the world of the 21st century." [press data]
Songs range from marching beat, spacey sci-fi electro, to
holocaustic industrial synth-core and a few verbal assults.
Carbon Haze is
high energy with high technology use and futurist sounds of a world deep in trouble. Right
up my alley! Fabricio of Aghast View and :W: need a copy of this.
The percussion is excellent, rhythm and melody are striking. There are may good
walloping progressions, moving and powerful synth work/sequencing. This band kicks
it hard. Original, visionary and foreboding to a sleeping audience
"Heretic" (nobody's listening). Not just another
"electro-noodle", Carbon Haze has a great deal of messages, good sound
derived from incredible influence, equipment and a back beat to make you move on the dance
floor.
