KHZ

Disconnected
Cutting Records

I didn't even realize these guys were still around. The last album I heard was "Emotronic" a few years back. I liked their mix of cool electronics, bursts of industrial noises and beats and sultry female vocals. The band has gotten far more aggressive on this release with a more "metal/industrial" feel this time around. There is a definite "Nine Inch Nails" influence heard throughout (which is not a bad thing) but also some dark, melodic softer moments as well. Dave Navarro (Jane's Addiction) even makes an appearance to add some guitar work on a few tracks. The heavier style on "Disconnected" was a definite plus in my opinion and fans of both genre's should find something to like in this very talented band.
