		Artist: Autodafeh Title: Identity Unknown Format: CD Label: Sigsaly Transmissions Genre: EBM, Electronic Release date: February 26, 2010

Founded in 2007, Swedish trio Autodafeh released their debut album “Hunt For Glory” in 2008 and last year they struck the world with the EP, aptly entitled “Re:lectro”.

With great influences from old EBM heroes Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb that’s hard to come by throughout their music and the track “Divided We Fall” seems to be a tribute to Front 242. “Identity Unknown” include collaboration with Daniel B. of Front 242 or even Claus Larsen of Leaether Strip so old-school EBM is not only the type of music on the album.

Fast-paced club friendly tracks with minimalistic rhythms mixed with slower darker pieces is the formula here. “Evil Doll” is a powerful track featuring Claus Larsen, and it’s hard to come by that he have worked on this track. The track is dark, including Claus’ screaming vocals to a flickering ambient sound and the driving beats. “Meltdown” offers high energy and speed from start through the entire song with minimalistic changes is rhythms that will for sure make a lot of people move like crazy.

Though, I have hard to really listen on the music on cd, I prefer to experience their music live. Yet the album offers a great modern touch to the old-school style and includes several great tracks like “7 Sins” and “Evil Doll” among others.
