Statiqbloom – Kain (Album – Sonic Groove)
Genre/Influences: Industrial-Techno.
Format: Digital, CD, Vinyl.
Background/Info: This album of Statiqbloom is the seventh opus to date (next to remix-albums and a live one). Fade Kainer joined hands together again with Sonic Groove releasing the new work two years after the brilliant “Threat”.
Content: “Threat” already gave us a taste of intelligent, hard Industrial-Techno and “Kain” just continues on that momentum. This is a dark form of Techno topped with strings, Industrial sound treatments, hard bass lines and even a few vocals lines.
+ + + : I remain baffled by the evolution of Statiqbloom which was quietly, but surely evolving into a more ‘Berliner’-Techno’ style and at least the Dark-Techno of pure Underground clubs. The composition has been developed in a meticulous, intelligent way, resulting in some new pearls such as “Cessation Of Light” and “Treacherous Eyes”.
– – – : It’s never that easy to release a new album after such a genius work as “Threat” although this is a great work as well.
Conclusion: Techno music has perhaps never been so obscure and still magic.
Best songs: “Cessation Of Light”, “Treacherous Eyes”, “Fire Of The Heart”, “Face Annihilation”.
Rate: 8.

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.
