Belgium-based EBM/industrial/new wave duo Implant will release on 6 September via Alfa Matrix The Chaos Machines Part 2 – Scratching The Surface. Following the success of Part 1 – No More Flies On The Windscreen, this new chapter will be available exclusively on vinyl (with a digital download).
In “Chapter 2” of this conceptual trilogy, the chaos intensifies as the machines continue their relentless assault on a desolate Earth. This release features mesmerizing extended versions of tracks like "The Drive" and the chilling “Tales From The City”, alongside the captivating electro-pop single “I Wasn’t There,” graced by the lush vocals of Noemi Aurora.
But that’s not all. This vinyl delves even deeper into the darkness with new tracks such as the powerful and lyrically engaged single “Responsible”, which channels the catchy 90s dark electro vibes reminiscent of early-Project Pitchfork. Other standout tracks include the haunting “It Will Mutate” and the infernal dancefloor hit “Why Don’t You Sin Like Me?”, both showcasing the sinister side of the machines as they eradicate humanity.
Combining old-school EBM, groovy American industrial, and melancholic new wave, Jan D’hooghe and Len Lemeire transform dark moments into pulsating psy-trance industrial anthems. They seamlessly blend noisy chaos with melodic beauty, creating a dynamic and electrifying record that evokes bands like Nine Inch Nails, Klinik, Juno Reactor and Front 242.
Like Implant: “no boundaries, no compromises, only chaos and machines!” Let the machines scratch your back as you dance the night away. And remember: with Implant, “if it doesn’t kill you, it will mutate and try again”. Two tracks are now available for streaming. Give it a listen. Link
