Former EBM heroes displaying fine craftsmanship! Spread the word …

EK Product [EKPCD015]. Release date: June 8th 2012.

Catchy melodies, excellent vocals with a subtle touch of drama, vibrant guitars, a hint of techno, a pinch of Industrial, a spoonful of POP, 12 tight songs, 3 fun remixes by other EK-bands AUTODAFEH, Retrogramme and Grandchaos, Future-pop WITH balls, Electro-pop with a sharp edge … The Finnish trio IMPAKT! is offering quite a package! The former members of Advanced Art are back with a new sound and an outstanding CD, “IMPERIA”.

Prepare for IMPAKT!

[And some free advice … Check out Advanced Art, you know where … BRILLIANT BAND!!!]

EKPCD015!

Het onvolprezen EK Product pakt na Old School Union uit met een uitstekende nieuwe Finse act, IMPAKT! Hun debuut, “Imperia” verscheen onlangs (8 juni 2012) en bleek onze aandacht meer dan waard. Laat het geweten zijn …

Aanstekelijke ritmes, uitstekende zang met veel gevoel voor drama, pittige gitaartjes, een lijntje Techno, een snuifje Industrial, een flinke soeplepel POP, 12 strakke songs, 3 leuke remixen van labelgenoten AUTODAFEH, Retrogramme en Grandchaos … Het Finse trio IMPAKT! brengt een eerder luchtig verhaal dat toch blijft plakken, FUTUREPOP met een scherp randje, Elektro Pop MET smoel … De ex-leden van het gerenommeerde Advanced Art (sublieme, rauwe EBM!) zijn terug met een nieuw, toegankelijker geluid en een prima CD!

PREPARE FOR IMPAKT!
