Artist: Ad Inferna Title: DSM Format: Album Label: Nilaihah Records Genre: Electronic Release date: July 27, 2010 Available on Spotify!

Less then a year from their last studio album “Trance N Dance” and the remix collection, which was out in May, Ad Inferna unleash their third studio album under the wings of newly signed label Nilaihah Records. The album is said to be 100% electronic compared to “Trance N Dance” which included the addition of heavy guitar riffs.

The album opens with the intro “Prémices” to the tunes of only a piano and a beautiful and harmonic background atmopshere before V.V. Arkames enters with a talking voice, but since it is in French I don’t have a clue what he’s talking about. The second track “Omniscience” offers a powerful and strong bass structure to heavy electronic soundscapes and the feeling that you wanna move definately sets in. The following track “Der Ball der Verdammten” is not gonna change that. The opening female voice, however just for a few seconds, reminds me of a song from the great video game Metal Gear Solid 4. The track is another fast-paced electronic piece and the including samples fill out the song in a great way.

“DSM” is the next chapter and continues on the same path as with the remix collection. With this album, Ad Inferna takes the next step within the electronic music scene and songs like “Crimy Body”, “The Other Side Of Me” or even the beautiful slow piece “Coma (La Fin des Rêves)” should also not be missed. Pushing electronic beats with dark and romantic soundscapes makes it very enjoyable. As a bonus, the album includes remixes from Cellmod, Suicidal Romance and Distatix.
