The American solo project Agitprop 666 has been active for several years and released its latest work at the end of 2024, featuring 12 tracks.

The approach remains consistent with previous releases—an intense and danceable fusion of ominous EBM basslines and pulsating beats. The music is skillfully structured with a gradual build-up, enriched by a signature element: spoken samples that take center stage. These samples, often extended with repetitive segments, replace traditional vocals while addressing current affairs and social issues such as drug use, AI, cyber warfare, the Mexican mafia, the war in Ukraine, the situation in Taiwan ao…

While the reliance on samples is effective, occasional vocal elements could add further depth. The album’s main shortcoming lies in its mixing and production—particularly the excessive use of fade-outs—which detracts from the overall impact. The content itself is strong, but a more refined mix and professional production could elevate it to an even higher level. (Rating:7).

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.

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.
