PULSE - Adjusting The Space - Reviewed By Necromance ! check it out here at this link: http://necromance.eu/pulse-aut-adjusting-the-space/
Attention to the quote from Roni Sarig's book entitled “The Secret History of Rock: The Most Influential Bands You've Never Heard”, regarding the birth of industrial music: it was the answer to «an era in which access and control of information were becoming primary tools of power. Color and learn with Teo!
As with every review, I like to listen to the band and investigate the origins, the influences, the why of each thing, and that's where that quote came from. Chill down your back, hey! We speak that the origin of Industrial as a genre was in the mid-70's. Fortunately, now all that time has passed. Right, Whatsapp, Facebook, Google and others? The point is that I have punctured the Austrian PULSE's “Adjusting the Space” and everything else has been rolled. If you are an avid devourer of the balls of RAMMSTEIN and similar bands, forget it because this is not about that thing! Or not, if you have enough guts and want to go one step further.
To open our mouths, we start with a topic called “X 31 ′ 26'43 Ny 109 ′ 430W” and, hey, if you are able to find to which exact point those coordinates correspond in a Euclidean space, then you have a prize. But come on, you are already on notice and you are already beginning to place yourself in the sound universe of PULSE. Already entered into flour, "We won't come in Peace" is a statement in every rule: no, we do not come in peace and it is pounding and repeatedly industrial. But not in what has become in recent years, wall-plan guitars with super bass tuning, two or three arrangements here and there based on loops. No, here the preponderance is taken by all the electronics, synths and programming. Let's remember that THE PRODIGY could sound heavier than many metal bands without having to put a guitar in. Well, for that degree of sonic saturation the shots would go.
"Supersonic Trance Sphere" shoots into a total trance to exceed speeds of 120-150 bpm and its melodic line is embedded in the hypothalamus. “New Elastic Freak” is, perhaps, one of my favorite songs on the album, with that disco start, although later the song is fucking dark, but the resolution of the chorus-verse is brutally addictive. More than RAMMSTEIN, I go to excellent bands like THE KOVENANT. A XXIII century update on THROBBING GRISTLE, KRAFTWERK and all that stuff. Brief interlude with “Sounds and Signals” and we jumped to “Adjusting the Space”, a new accelerated, electronic, sampled attack and I don't know what else. If with good reason the band defines itself as Dark Cyber Industrial Metal. They're making me want to reread Philip K. Dick or Neal Stephenson. But wait, stop! Do you want to know what two galaxies sound like when they kiss? Turn off the light, close your eyes and listen to "Encounter."
And a new rise in beats with “Star Light” and intensity that does not decrease with the next song, “Black Knight”, with stops, syncopations and hypnotic melodies, bombast and music for the centuries to come that we are already listening to in 2021. And what We can say the same about the next theme, “Points of Nibiru”. We go down in revolutions, but with the same strength and creative intelligence (Damn, if Nibiru refers to a celestial body from Babylonian mythology, associated with the god Marduk). The PULSEs work at this level . Incredible new interlude with “The Passage Entry” and we get into the seismic alert of “Major Tom”, more cyberpunk firewood and keep the party going, everyone dancing like cyber dervishes!
As a gift and really closing the album, they get a remix of their song "Alienangel" from their previous album "Extinction Level Event". Only with the Zardonic Remix with which they attack you is enough to shut up many mouths. My recomendation? That you listen to them and that you follow them on their social networks, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram… because we already know that access to and control of information has not become primary tools of power. Alas, these PULSE ! 8.5/10 - Necromance
PULSE act with their new Cyber Future Metal Single “New Elastic Freak” along with its music video in a bizarre interplay between sexual disorder and alien-obduction
Last Week, the release of the new PULSE single “ New Elastic Freak ” is the third one taken from the brilliant Cyber Future Metal album “ Adjusting The Space ”, to be released via NRT-Records on November 6th, 2020. The ambiguous “ New Elastic Freak ” is about a psychopathic sexual disorder with a sex doll resp. the examination of a dead alien body. This ecstatically intense single is not only recommended to fans of Rammstein , Pain or The Kovenant . Now, get captivated by the galactic overlords’ PULSE with their brand-new Sci-Fi music video and its bizarre interplay of dark live scenes and strange alien sequences:
The brand new PULSE single “New Elastic Freak” with the excellent cover by Illustrator Nurul Hidayat is now available as a third cosmic foretaste of the upcoming album at the following download stores and streaming services: Amazon (DE) | Amazon (US) | Spotify | Apple Music & iTunes | Deezer | Tidal | Qobuz | YouTube Music
Founded in 2014 by Nemesis , the mastermind of the Austrian Black Metal band Astaroth , PULSE quickly laid the foundation for the crossbreeding of Cyberpunk and Metal . With their 2015 debut album “ Extinction Level Event ”, released through CCP Records , they left a lasting impression on the Gothic , Electro and Metal scene. Besides vocalist and guitarist Nemesis , bassist Vidar , drummer Pulsar and guitarist Dom are members of the PULSE squad to bring the sound of their home planet closer to mankind. With futuristic drum sounds, heavy guitars and a scratchy diabolical voice that fits the alien overlord image well, the Austrians create a brute, yet incredibly dance-able Industrial Electro Metal sound that is well suited for the extra-terrestrial conquerors. Live on stage they already left their extraterrestrial traces on the Schattenwelt Festival in Vienna or the legendary Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig. After numerous concerts, it was time to ring in the next phase of the terrestrial conquest and so PULSE retreated to CCP Studio in late summer 2019 to produce “Adjusting The Space” with Claus Prellinger (Dornenreich, Jack Frost, Thirdmoon). Coming from Industrial Cyber Metal and blowing fresh wind into this genre, PULSE release an album that will not only convince fans of the Industrial scene. The single “ Black Night ”, “ We Won’t Come In Peace ” and today’s “ New Elastic Freak ” give you an idea of what kind of cosmic masterpiece you can look forward to in early November. Welcome our new intergalactic overlords!
“Adjusting The Space” featuring the distinctive artwork of Richard Touzimsk and its thirteen songs can already be pre-ordered at the following stores: Amazon (DE) | Nuclear Blast | Thalia | Saturn | Media Markt | Buecher.de | Weltbild | JPC | WOM | Grooves | MyMediaWelt.de | CeDe | ExLibris | Amazon (US) | MVD | Record Store Day | Craft & Vinyl | Vintage Vinyl | FYE | ElectricFetus.com | Barnes & Noble | Plastic Head | Fnac | iMusic.dk | SuperShop.sk | Google Play | Qobuz
