I:Scintilla “Dying & Falling” (Album/Alfa Matrix)

Review:

		7/10
		Artist: I:Scintilla Title: Dying & Falling Format: Album Label: Alfa Matrix Genre: Industrial, Metal Release date: November 26, 2010

A little over a year have passed since I:Scintilla teased with their “Prey On You” EP. The new album “Dying & Falling” is out and it continues on what the EP showed us.

The industrial/metal approach fused with heavy guitar riffs and beautiful melodies I think the band deliver a strong album. Although, the seductive and amazing voice of Brittany is stunning and make the songs sound so much better.

However, I feel that the electronic elements and soundscapes more works as a background curtain to the rock-based structure. Which I really think is sad because from what you can hear they sound great. “Prey On You” appears in a great electropop version and offer a sweet treat for your ears.

A great production is present once again from Wade Alin. Be sure not to miss the mellow and beautiful “Worth The Wait” or “The Shake” nor the very catchy and up-tempo “Swimmers Can Drown” and “Mothership”.
