Xotox - The Dark [Infacted Recordings Promo]

Put out on the digital circuit via Infacted Recordings on July 19th, 2k24 is "The Dark", the latest single outing by Industrial x EBM x Hard Techno staple Xotox. Opening with "The Dark *Rebuilt Version 2k24" Xotox provides an updated version of the 2002 classic, focusing on groovy, probably even Electroclash-compatible ElectroTechno garnished with a catchy synth bass motif and raw EBM vocals whereas the subsequent, 2002-released original version of the title track brings forth a heavier, untamed, hyper compressed and well aggressive sonic approach more suitable for peak time (Rhythm) Industrial dancefloors and therefore remains our favorite version of this tune. Furthermore "Mechanische Unruhe *Remix by <1979>" caters more of a brutalist, heavily distorted HardTechno variation reminiscent of early releases on the infamous Zhark Recordings label throughout the late 90s whilst the final "(Xo)toxic *Remix by Frequen-C" rounds things off with a braincell wrecking mixture of Noize, shrieking, subdued rave signals and marching bass drums which can only be described as the twisted lovechild of early Gabber and perverted Industrial Techno music. This is war music foreshadowing nothing but doom and apocalypse. Period.
