Pale – Beyond The Pale (Single – Ant-Zen)
Genre/Influences: Industrial, Death-Industrial, Power-Electronics.
Format: Digital, Vinyl.
Background/Info: Pale is a Swedish formation which has been active for years but now releasing their first new work since 2008. The band is driven by Håkan Paulsson (Sanctum), Emma Ekered, Christina Blom & Joakim Engström (Sanctum).
Content: The opening cut is a heavy, mind-blowing piece of Power-Electronics featuring shouting, exclamations. The second track remains powerful but sounds more into Electro-Industrial here again with harsh vocals on top.
+ + + : I’m no longer reviewing singles but when you hear such a great piece of music -especially the opening track “Beyond The Pale” you can only but be satisfied Pale has finally released new stuff. This track is a brilliant, powerful, and efficient fusion between different genres. It’s an overwhelming production announcing the come-back of the project with a bang.
– – – : My single regret is that this is just a single so I can only hope Pale will not wait for another 15 years to bring new studio work.
Conclusion: Great and powerful Industrial music featuring a mind-blowing title-track.
Best songs: “Beyond The Pale”, “Comes Again”.
Rate: 8.

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.
