UNDER CONTROL Reviews |
|
| |
|
We have collect some reviews about our new album UNDER CONTROL.
=> Reviews UNDER CONTROL
|
|
|

"Under Control" release date 26.02.2010 |
|
| |
|
HIOCTAN has always been a band far away from any conformity and social conventions. "Under Control" is their third longplayer and the typical HIOCTAN-sound still kicks ass. Classic DarkElectro combining harsh sounds, distorted vocals as well as choirs and kettledrums with melancholically arranged strings culminate in an album full of corroding interhuman feelings. Honest music for honest people! "Under Control" does not even try to keep up with modern trends - especially the audio-engineering was put into special focus in order to create a sound more transparent than all the HIOCTAN releases ever had before. HIOCTAN's lyrics have always been very critical towards social issues. The track "Aim of Life" deals with all the people that try to live along social conventions - bound to rules they are forced to obey - waiting for the end to come in the neverending spiral of time. "Passion of Cruelty" denounces persecution of heathens - while "Sonderbehandlung 14f13" addresses genocide during WWII. Released on Noitekk and available February 26th, 2010.

Real Life |

I [Michael] have moved to Hamburg where the real life has catched me. After my studies with much time for the music now I am a part of the workforce.

About this feeling I have finished the song "Aim of life" which will be released on the upcoming album UNDER CONTROL.
