I have always liked the work of ‘First Aid 4 Souls‘ and this latest release is even better than their last release Brutpop – read more about the label they are on here.

Atmospherical sounds with elements of ethno-rythm, classical strings and samples from computer games and SciFi-Effects – Deathstep is more than your average EBM beat blitzkrieg, it is almost subtle in places (?) and as their label’s press release states; there are a lot of creative juices from America, England, Germany, Slovakia, Hungary and Japan mixed together on this thumping gem.

Very, very FAB!

Die aus Ungarn stammende Formation First Aid 4 Souls sind in ihrer Heimat keine Unbekannten mehr und István Gazdag war schon in den frühen 90er mit Bands wie Clock DVA oder Swamp Terrorists mit auf der Bühne. Erst im Jahre 2006 gründete er dann mit dem Schlagzeuger István Drimál zusammen das Projekt.

Aushänge Schild für das Projekt ist unter anderem, dass hier sehr viele Stimmen zum Einsatz kommen. Neben den festen Gesangsstimmen von Katalin Helfenbein und Attila Palfalvyst, bringen sich hier als Gaststimme Madalina Kertesz, Linda Daemon (Drugzone), Mark Duffield (I Am One) und Aaron Russell (Impurfekt) ein. Die Gesangsstimmen werden meist in verschiedenen Variationen verzerrt, nur selten gewinnt man den Eindruck das die Stimme unverfälscht geblieben ist.

I started Four Dimensional Nightmare near the end of 2007, a solo project with various aspirations. I wanted to create something new, a daunting task in this age of a million bands and a billion songs. I love industrial music, love experimenting and love playing the guitar. As well as goofing around with my voice. So what has resulted? I’ve recorded about 500 songs or so in a genre I decided to call “horrorshow.”

I’ve had the opportunity in the past three years to remix and collaborate with artists all over the world and made some great friends. And even played some shows, a challenge for a one-person band.

I’ll drink to that – keep it up mate!

Below is selection from an email interview with Four Dimensional Nightmare we did in 2009

Your music can not be described as ‘easy listening’ (thank God) so how would you describe it?

I would say it’s a sort of hybrid between industrial, psychedelic and experimental. I write from the dream state – usually waking up from lucid dreams and writing down everything I can remember. Sometimes I keep going and actually do the song during the night and sometimes I work the next day. Read more of the interview…
