    Kraschau –  Une Foi d’Acier

    Label: GH Records – GH 127 CD
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: Spain
    Released: 20 Dec 2015
    Style: Martial, Industrial, Neoclassic

    Kraschau’s long-awited third full-length album is maybe their most epic work among all. It shows the depths and heights of the martial/industrial/neoclassical genre with sinister, monotonous industrial loops and heavy bears and with glorius, sublime neoclassical anthems. It also summarizes their previous works (Offenbarung, Falanx & Unitas – the split with Kriegsfall-U.), by making a special, alternative version of one track from each. With that ‘éncore’ section, Une Foi d’Acier is more than an hour long work in 13 tracks.

    The album is dedicated to the christian victims and marthyrs of two major conflicts of the 20th century: the Mexican ‘Cristero’ war and the Spanish civil war, but also deals with the confused 20th century history of the project’s origin, Austria-Hungary and the Central-European region.

    Musically, it continues to expand and incorporate more and more styles, like it’s predecessor, Falanx: as ‘usual’, you can find Kraschau’s self-composed and played neoclassical synth parts, but most of the songs are going back to the roots of industrial music and they are more based on various, monotonous samples and loops. Furthermore the album makes experiments in incorporating power industrial and contemporary classical music and even ‘lighter’ electronic sounds.

    Puissance – Grace Of God

    Label: Equilibrium Music – EQM017
    Format: CD, Album, Enhanced
    Country: Portugal
    Released: 31 Jan 2007
    Style:Modern Classical, Industrial, Ambient

    The cogwheels on the Puissance warmachine are back to work, as defiant and innovative as ever. “Grace of God” re-invents the current notion of Martial-Pop, with their own superior combination of sumptuous Neo-Classical and Industrial music.

    Three years after “State Collapse”, the cogwheels on the Puissance-warmachine have been fine-tuned and put to work again, in a crushing motion that seems to be as defiant and innovative as ever. Forerunners in blending post-Industrial soundscapes with seemingly Wagnerian inspired classical scores, the Swedish duo’s controversial portrayal of human life often tends to raise a mix of conflicting feelings towards them.

    In keeping with such tradition, this return by Puissance serves as a lucid statement on current world affairs. In Soderlund’s own words, “"Grace of God”is partially meant as a commentary on contemporary events both social and political. Our goal is to inform yet retain a poetic undertone to frame our analysis of world politics and objectives. This album focus heavily on the foreign policy of western civilizations particularly inspired by neoconservatives and other proponents of economically based genocides in third world countries. Rather than subscribing to any political agenda, Puissance stands out as artists against the political and financial motives that have led up to numerous unresolvable conflicts that are on the verge of plunging us into the third world war.“

    Musically, "Grace of God” could well be referred to as a re-definition of the currently over-abused Martial-Pop term, yet Puissance’s own superior combination of sumptuous Neo-Classical and Industrial elements raises any potential Pop anthem to an entirely distinct level. More melodic and vocal-oriented than before, this latest opus also comes to expose a more rhythmic approach that had been hinted at in previous releases, but which has now morphed into a powerful and relentless driving force in Söderlund and Möller’s compositions. Compellingly militant as well as beautifully apocalyptic, “Grace of God” finds Puissance in top form, presenting a fine compendium of all bits and pieces that the band have been flirting with throughout their career and incorporating them in a unique style which will again set new standards, as they have been known to do in previous outputs.
