SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: ZWAREMACHINE – RIPPING AT THE FABRIC

Zwaremachine

Zwaremachine
Ripping At The Fabric
Brutal Resonance Records

Zwaremachine has mastered the ability to combine Industrial and EBM into a wonderful concoction on their five-track EP, Ripping At the Fabric. Dark and hypnotizing, each song is distinct so it’s easy to listen to from beginning to end. The energetic tempo and catchy chorus of the title track deems it worthy of being played in nightclubs. 

Ripping At The Fabric is true to classic industrial elements of synth, heavy bass lines, and drum machines. One may feel it reminiscent of early electro-industrial acts such as Skinny Puppy or possibly Front 242. With such a predominant old school feel to it, it’s a nice touch that the EP is available as a limited-edition cassette tape. For those who love early industrial, you can find an appreciation for this album.  It’s also a sure bet for someone who has the desire to be reintroduced into the genres. A very stimulating listen either way.

About the Author
Trista Whitman
Trista’s a music addict who’s taste in music spans over numerous genres. She enjoys playing her bass guitar, but honestly she’s not very good at it. So she goes to concerts and watches real musicians who are far more talented than her. You’ll find her there in the front row, because, well, she’s short and wouldn’t be able to see the stage very well otherwise, and because she strives to get the perfect photo to capture the experience.
