Unit:187 – KillCure (Digital/CD Album – Metropolis)
Unit:187 emerged in 1994, carving a niche in the Industrial music scene. Over the past 30 years, the band has faced significant milestones and challenges, the most devastating being the death of founding member Tod Law in 2015. This tragic loss deeply impacted the band, delaying their return to the spotlight. The latest album, “KillCure”, is a testament to resilience and creativity. Featuring 8 tracks, some of which were in progress at the time of Law’s passing, these songs were completed with care and dedication. In addition, new material was crafted by Johnny Morgan, Chris Peterson (Decree, FLA), Ross Redhead (Decree), Kerry Vink-Peterson (Stiff Valentine). The album showcases hard-hitting Industrial soundscapes where roaring guitars evoke the distinct Canadian/American Industrial aesthetic. Raw, abrasive Electronic arrangements heighten the album’s unsettling yet captivating atmosphere. The male vocals are intense and possessed, at times heavily processed with effects, while female vocals appear sporadically to add contrast and depth. Ranging from Industrial to Punk and hard Electro, “KillCure” delivers 8 powerful tracks that explode with energy, especially in their choruses. The album is a fiery, triumphant return for Unit:187, reaffirming their place in the Industrial music scene with a bang. (Rating:8).
