Artist: DIGIMORTAL
Album: Strashneye Menya
Year: 2008
Digimortal from Russia has caught my attention
immidiately after their various websingles they released
a few years ago. Their brutal approach of industrial (cyber)
metal had a smashing effect on my brains, and thus I
kept a closer eye on them. Their debut album, all in
Russian, recieved an excellent rating by me, and by many
others. Their second album is on it's way, and as a
teaser we have here the release of their first websingle
named 'Strashneye Menya' - which can be downloaded for
free over here: http://giveout.ru/digimortal/
The websingle kicks off with the title track - 'Strashneye
Menya'. It opens with a heartbeat, to be followed by
very strong and heavy guitarwork and powerful drumming.
It has cold and atmospheric keylines, wicked FX works
and recogniseable vocal lines. The chorus is one to sing-a-long
with if you know Russian, and still catchy if you don't
(like me). Next up comes a Prodigy cover: 'Breathe'.
It's a powerful and short (2 minutes and 15 seconds)
track, with the recogniseable sampling and outstanding
vocal works. The guitars are heavy, and the programming
fits the metal attitude of this cover very well. Next up
we have English versions of 'Belka & Strelka', which was
one of my favourite songs of their debut album, and 'M.A.S.H.I.N.A'.
Musically there are no differences, and the English
lyrics might sound a bit strange in the beginning if you
are used to the Russian versions. However, for the
people who don't know the Russian versions, these
English ones are an accessable start.
After this web release, all I can say is - I am more
than ready for the new CD!
