Info: |
German duo THE PSYCHIC FORCE earned a huge reputation in the early
nineties in the dark elektro scene next to bands like YELWORC, AMGOD,
PLASTIC NOISE EXPERIENCE, and PLACEBO EFFECT. At the turn of the
millennium, Michelle Christiansen and Jörg Charnowski simply vanished from
the surface of the Earth. In Summer 2015, EBM/dark elektro veterans THE
PSYCHIC FORCE broke some 20 years of extended silence with the successful
club-EP Relapse. A stunning comeback which reminded us once more of how
good the Belgian label Alfa Matrix can be at bringing EBM living legends
back into the spotlight like they did it in previous years with PLASTIC
NOISE EXPERIENCE, LEAETHER STRIP, AMGOD, ARMAGEDDON DILDOS, POUPPEE
FABRIKK or yet MENTALLO & THE FIXER. A flight forward journey at full speed rolled-out in some 13 songs bringing us to dark oppressive cinematic industrial territories full of sample manipulations (the opening Welcome To ScarCity, the lingering Die In The Clinic, the upbeat Painful Revelation or the noir BeDevil) also haunted by true classic dark elektro tracks with powerful harsh vocals like the cold and engaged SUICIDE COMMANDOesque Politics Of Greed, the anti-terrorism EBM assault Blowback and the unmatched revamped version of their club-hit Twilight Zone MMXVI. The German duo also sharpened the more melodic side of the bands work
by intelligently adding lighter passages to the albums diversity where
clearer vocals (even sometimes accompanied by Darjas female backing
vocals on 2 songs) and more modern melodic synth lines get fused with
their characteristic icy elektro sequences and ripping EBM basslines
sometimes evoking bands like LEAETHER STRIP, VNV NATION or even BEBORN
BETON (the catchy synth pop fugue Drive, the carrying minimal
electro-pop Accelerate, the introspective and highly emotional Teach
Me or the transporting robotic and darkish Neurotic (Relapse) and the
icy blast of Demons Of Time). THE PSYCHIC FORCE also add a touch of
humour to the album with the intentionally cliché EBM track Vater EBM
with German lyrics that will bring some fun moments to dancefloors and at
their concerts, evoking some kind of harsher DAF-like version of AND
ONEs good old tongue-in-cheek Techno Man hit
