John R Mirland (Negant, Am Tierpark e.a. ) and Bryon Wilson (Divider) form a team under the name of Emergency Sequence. And they've just released their second single Sharpening The Axe. An old-school EBM song, but in a more contemporary danceable electro version. The song serves as a preview of the full-length album Body Movement they are currently working on.
You will direcly recognize the solid EBM base in this song: short and angular synth melodies combined with dark vocals. The rhythm section is less threatening than in real old-school EBM, but when you know who's behind it, you know it will sound dark and danceable. The axe of this song is sharpened to make a revolution and cause a stir.
Just like other works of these guys, this song is ready to make people move on many dancefloors. Play it loud...

John R Mirland (Negant, Am Tierpark e.a. ) en Bryon Wilson (Divider) vormen een team onder de naam Emergency Sequence. In die formatie brengen ze een tweede single uit, Sharpening The Axe. Een oldskool EBM-song, maar dan in een meer hedendaags klinkende en dansbare electroversie. Het is een voorafje van het full album Body Movement waaraan ze werken.
De stevige EBM-basis is nog heel herkenbaar in de song: hoekige korte synthmelodie en donkere vocalen. De ritmesectie is minder dreigend dan in de echte oldskool, maar gelet op wie hierachter zit, wéét je dat het dansbaar donker is. De bijl in deze song wordt geslepen om de revolutie aan te zwengelen en oproer te veroorzaken.
Deze song is, zoals wel meer werk van de heren, klaar om beweging te brengen op vele dansvloeren. Play it loud...
