Rotfox – Flesh (EP – Rotfox)
Genre/Influences: Industrial-Body-Music.
Format: Digital.
Background/Info: “Flesh” is the debut work of American solo-project Rotfox. The artist claims to be inspired by ‘Industrial music from the past’.
Content: It all depends on what you consider and/or label as ‘Industrial’ music. Rotfox takes off with a hard-hitting piece of Industrial mixed with EBM. It moves on with the title-song, which is another EBM driven cut and also the single one featuring vocals. The other tracks left are definitely moving into harder, Industrial-Electro fields.
+ + + : “Flesh” is a noticeable debut, which especially for both debut songs stands for great and raw Industrial-EBM. Both songs are well-crafted while revealing a personal approach in sound. Industrial lovers will be more pleased by the 4 tracks left.
– – – : I regret there’s only one cut featuring vocals. Vocals and/or spoken samplings could add a bonus to the work.
Conclusion: Rotfox is a project with a true potential and I can only encourage the artist to move on.
Best songs: “Undeath”, “Flesh”, “Husk”.
Rate: 8.

… 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.
