Industria Sinister - To Hell With The Future
Alternative/Alt.Rock, Industrial, Post Punk
Geneva, Switzerland
Overall Impression: The opening track from Industria Sinister's most recent album, Holy Circus, "To Hell with the Future" establishes the atmospheric tones and lyrical themes to come with a baleful blend of intensely robotic percussion and viscerally gripping bass tones. Spacious in an oppressive way, "To Hell with the Future" becomes a lyrical manifesto of one who has depleted their reserves of sympathy and community and now seeks to become a conduit of hatred itself.
Strongest Point(s): The instrumental selections in "To Hell with the Future" work together in an effectively disquieting way - using primally resonant bass tones beneath ceaseless percussive timekeeping and stylistically bleak organ to build a soundscape of dark intent. The organ specifically resonates well with the album's title and grants "To Hell with the Future" a full and foreboding atmosphere as it develops. Vocally, Industria Sinister seems distant but still very much present within the sonic space - giving significant weight to lyrics that belie a sense of vengeance on the rise.
Target Audience Appeal: Post-Industrial energies conspire to develop "To Hell with the Future" into a strong introduction to the Holy Circus, laying a groundwork that should ensnare the attentions and even the affections of most fans of the genre! Industria Sinister's artistic style and lyrical authenticity stand to resonate well with any listener with a penchant for the darker side of things - with "To Hell with the Future" serving as a strong introduction to the artist's scene. - Jon W.
