Finnish metal/rock band, made up of members of various well-known (in limited circles) underground metal bands, in addition to British vocalist Mat McNerney. Their album I (2024) is described by their record label as a "powerhouse of futuristic synth in symbiosis with the super violence of kosmische black metal", which unfortunately makes it sounds more exciting than it is. The lyrics are largely concerned with the usual dystopian future of Big Brother-style surveillance and the "technology of power", a phrase repeated several times. The music is a serviceable mix of techno-inspired rhythms with metal and prog infused rock. It is one of those curious cases where experimental musicians try to step out from their comfort zone and end up closer to the mainstream than they had intended. [CWa]
