Düsseldorf – Bunckermusick (Digital/CD Album – Zoharum)
Düsseldorf is a Polish music project led by Tom Axer. For this new release, which came out at the end of 2024, he collaborated with the German artist Leander Roenick of Elektrokraft.
This album is highly eclectic and, at times, challenging to grasp as a cohesive whole. Many tracks are infused with old-school EBM and Dark-Electro influences. One song strongly evokes the sound of Calva Y Nada, but the influences don’t stop there. The album also features Martial passages with epic arrangements, while other moments lean towards Dark/Cold-Wave, making it feel as if Grauzone has returned. It all concludes with an original, atmospheric outro.
Düsseldorf’s sound is like a sonic labyrinth—complex, immersive, and intriguing. (Rating:7½).

… 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.
