Assassun – Post-Climax (Album-Digital/CD/Cassette – Blackjack Illuminist Records)
Alexander Donat is best known for his Cold-Wave project Vlimmer, but now returns with Assassun’s third album. “Post-Climax” is a continuation of the Minimal-Electro sound he developed. It sounds more retro than ever before and the 80s are clearly a major influence. The songs are embroiled in a dark atmosphere that creates a desperate sensation. Alexander Donat continues to sing in English for this project and proves once again to be a very talented singer. This is not my favorite Assassin album, but it remains an interesting discovery. (Rate:7).

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
