Biography:
“The Ersatz
is an insurrectionary group anticipating the destruction of the government in
place that alienates humanity, the conditioning that controls your life is the
target. We’re just numbers, by-products of a lifestyle obsession.
We are overrated, we are no longer human but a palliative to our own
lives, feeds and educated tasteless, indoctrinated by divine lullaby that dodge
reality, lobotomised by ugly cultural mass mind and insecurity stuff created by
governments puppets! Do we make our own choices? Take and become your own! Kill
the false inside YOU! Be aware of The Ersatz
within! And make it end!
KILL THE FALSE INSIDE YOU!”
Amen to that!
Exordium
A rather creepy and eerie track that is highly disturbing. Very
unusual and creative in its own way. Its fresh approach is laden with sinister
structures of sheer and unadulterated rhythmic pleasure.
Intruder under my Skin
Another unusual array but this time the harshness is more apparent
and mesmerising with vocal steeliness and rhythmic swathes that lunge with
hyper tones of addictive proportions – Great track!!
Mind’s Nails
Gnarly and grisly just how it should be! The vocals seethe under a constant rhythmic flank
of awesome! It stomps and parades a certain boldness with expectations
exceeded.
Dead Space Parasite
Deep resounding thumps of drums again stomp to a swagger of catchy
rhythms and leaves the emotions well satisfied. It intoxicates you in large
amounts and offers a captivating presence with anthemic groove!
One More Scar
With a rather strange voice effect this track bristles into view and
holds a rather eerie attitude. The
vocals are cleaner than previous and sung more in a punk vein although still
captivating.
Obey Industry
Erupting from its core are a plethora of sampled voices that harbour
a spacey theme with strange jangling and mutated ambiance. As the track fills
out it scoops you along on its inventive and creative journey.
Hybrid Children
More ungodly intervention as this track fires out an enthusiastic
rhythmic pattern of persuasion of enthralling notes of equally enjoyable
passion. Vocals return to their harsh state and a haunting keyboard melody
ensues. – Another great track!
Embryo Born from Fire
Casting a dark shadow over the proceedings are more sampled voices
and a harsh crust of noises that simply engage and simmer until finally
bursting out of their restraints and igniting into a frenzy of melodic
compulsion.
Spasm of Paranoia
Equally dark and robotic such is its strength to compel and enthral with large slabs of rhythms that stir and ferociously attack the senses. It is
an emotional turmoil that wraps around the ears and wounds with intent to
attention grab.
Put to Death
Bubbles with a sneaky rhythm and stalks. Battering the emotions into
a submission that you don’t mind succumbing to. Under the weighty slabs of
rhythms the vocals intertwine with harsh severity and burn with wild tenacity.
Winterguts
Pulsing rhythms start and then turn to a more levelled structure
that offers a droning and imposing creativity. A most unusual track that is
edgy and parades with evil mischief.
------------------------------------------------
“This album grips and grips so
tightly it is bound to warrant further investigation. It is creative, unusual
and very addictive. The intensity never lessens in fact it grows with each
track!”
------------------------------------------------
System Failure
A delicious start offering highly pleasing keyboard melodies that
hit like acid rain with a superb vocal that sounds like something from a space
movie. Captivating with its rhythmic ebbing and flowing to the myriad of
sampled voices and inescapable lures that warrant a full listening pleasure.
Another superb track.
Kill the False inside you
The sound is like a heartbeat pumping against a hardened wind with
stomping feet. Its breath escapes into a scream amid a choir of haunting
voices, and a staged vocal accompaniment of harsh seething - again very unusual
and pleasing to the ears.
Summary
This album grips and grips so tightly it is bound to warrant further
investigation. It is creative, unusual and very addictive. The intensity never
lessens in fact it grows with each track.
Its masterful bait fully engages the senses and emotions. It is a
pity I never carried on my French lessons at school as the final track houses
an evil voice that speaks French in a monotone ambiance.
The album expresses its unique qualities in such a crafted way that
invokes a certain ‘Je ne sais quoi’ and has lots of contagious addiction added
to its bulbous structures but kept within certain boundaries that still makes
it pleasurable.
The keyboards are not over-done and add-in hints of haunting
melodies that leave you transfixed.
It could be described as black judging by the names the band uses with a hint of punk - vocally, definitely industrial, but you make up
your own mind, it matters very little as this album goes into overdrive and
pulverizes the senses with relish!
‘The shock Industrial’ element to the album is for me a resounding
success – anything that shocks musically is most welcome in my book, and The Ersatz do that with intrigue and
ingenuity.
What is unveiled here are meaty slabs of industrial bred unpredictability.
It is potent and punchy and emerges as an ultimate winner!
Definitely recommended listening - if it is the ‘shock experience’
you crave! This band hit the nail on the proverbial head
10/10
