Neurotech's Blue Screen Planet - a futuristic cyber symphony

Neuorotech is a band that got my attention due to their first full length album, Antagonist, an album with very intense sound, dense in electronics with flowing, edgy melodies. The fact that the band originates from Slovenia was another factor why I needed to check these guys out. But let’s leave Antagonist behind. Neurotech released their second EP, entitled Blue Screen Planet just a day ago and of course I had to check it out as soon as possible.

My thoughts? Brilliant! Excellent! Superb! Astonishing! I was blown away by the compositions of the songs, as Blue Screen Planet features ‘’just’’ two tracks, Axiom (10:05) and the instrumental Revelation (8:32). Blue Screen Planet is somehow a futuristic, ambient, industrial, cyber odyssey. Both songs achieve such greatness, because what Wulf (the man responsible for Blue Screen Planet to become what it is) did is upgrade the basic cyber metal sound Neurotech were going for, with some goth like adding of fragile choirs, piano melodies that flow into growls and intense drumming, so the music in its origin is still metal. Revelation then is Axiom’s instrumental brother, again, a composition of greatness.

If you like industrial music, cyber metal, futuristic music, electronics and atmospheric music, you really need to give Blue Screen Planet a chance. I’m actually so glad that Slovenia has to offer such greatness to the metal community and I can’t wait for Neurotech to give as another full length album.
