2nd Face - Nihilum [Digipak]

2018 EP release. With his 2017 debut Nemesis, Vincent Uhlig was newcomer of the year amongst many dark industrial fans. Likewise, the media praised his project for it's compelling music, a hybrid of old and new school industrial with an excellent sound. The latter stems from the fact that the studio crack from Mainz, Germany, is a professional engineer, working with an arsenal of current synthesizers as well as models that are 40 years old. Now this EP may be titled "Nihilum", meaning "nothing", yet don't be mistaken: The A-side, contained in two versions is a consummate burner, uniting harsh basses with acoustic samples and compelling vocals. Club drive meets intense drama, raising expectations for the forthcoming studio album. The other three tracks 'Humanity', 'Nuclear Winter Is Coming' and 'Blind Wanderer' seem controlled in comparison, but no less show how the artist has progressed: Uhlig proves to be stylistically more diverse than his first record made you believe. Secon?d? f?a?c?e?'s second strike will be even deadlier!
