Disastrous Din – Complex (Digital EP – Consequence Records)
Thirty years have passed since Thomas Gäbhard—best known for his work with Arcana Obscura—founded Disastrous Din. His latest EP, released in the early hours of 2025, features four tracks that showcase his distinctive sonic approach.
Marked by powerful, bombastic percussion, the EP carries an unmistakable Industrial edge, seamlessly blending with intricate Electronic sequences to create a transcendental experience—particularly evident in the title track.
Only one of the songs includes vocals, which feels like a missed opportunity; additional voice elements or spoken samples could have further enriched the soundscape.
Nevertheless, Disastrous Din remains a unique project, offering a dynamic fusion of diverse Electro influences. (Rating: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.
