XP8 – “One Of Three: Nigredo”

One year after the launch of “Adrenochrome” and his EP “Meathead’s Lost HD”The Romans Marco Visconti and Marko Resurreccion are back and ready to unleash the “Alchemy Series: three EPs” planned to be released 6 months from each other.

Nigredo or blackness, in alchemy it means putrefaction or decomposition. Alchemists believed that as the first step on the road to the Philosopher's Stone that all alchemical ingredients had to be thoroughly cleaned and prepared for a uniform black matter.

The beginning of this EP is very energetic with “Dolly was a raver” and “Engage the bass” with industrial rave styles that sound a bit like the old X-Rx and the same XP8, the “art of revenge (2008)”

“Primitive”, lives up to its name, it is a song if not primitive, it is minimalist, with very good touches of the current EDM although it is seasoned so that it has substance and a bit of darkness. I think it is the best song on this EP.

En cambio “Troll Control”I find it somewhat monotonous, although it follows the line of the first two tracks. Finally has “Information (Phaezek 4 Remix)” It is a track that has elements of the Dubstep that handles with a very well controlled Techno.

Es un buen disco, esta parte de la “Alchemy Series” esta dedicado sin duda al 100% a las pistas de baile,  aunque hay que escuchar las proximas dos entregas.
