Freakangel – Serenity To The Stars, Beauty To The Broken (Digital Album – Alfa Matrix)
Freakangel is back, and the world is about to take notice! While ‘back’ might not be the most accurate term, this release serves as a powerful ‘best-of’ compilation, revisiting tracks from their first three albums. During that era, this Estonian group delivered pure, relentless Dark-Electro, defined by pounding rhythms and raw, distorted vocals. Each track is a visceral experience, brimming with unfiltered energy and enhanced by razor-sharp guitar riffs. These songs stand the test of time, retaining their brutal intensity and dark allure. However, the album’s closing four tracks -remixes from a contest, fall short in comparison, feeling like the weakest link in an otherwise impeccable collection. Then again, outdoing Freakangel’s original material is no easy task. This compilation is a fierce reminder of the band’s unyielding power and influence -definitely a must-have for fans old and new. (Rating:8½).
