Jumpstart Your Industrial Week With The Brand New 16Volt Release White Noise

Headed up by the veteran industrial musician Eric Powell, the long-standing US group 16Volt return after a 7-year break. I think we all need one of those. Their new record is from the album, out in a couple of days, called More Of Less. A scarcity phrase, the value goes up when the availability goes down, that 28 seasons of silence are sounding more attractive. White Noise is written about how our voices are so easily drowned out and relegated to a useless chatter among the rest. It doesn’t matter if you’re uttering prophecy or pro-tactics, if no-one is listening, It's not worth a penny. Attention is golden, and it’s my job to put your ears onto this latest number; hard and heavy, down and devilish, brutally bombastic, and ready when you’re brave enough.  
 
A buzzing ambience opens the track before a barrage of rhythms begin to churn the pulse. Bass, toms, and vocal sounds make a strange collage of persistence and percussion. The pace picks up with extra layers of drum and bass as the song begins in full. Distorted and spoken word voice carries across bouncing guitars and fiery riff work. A ferocious punch creates the chorus as the title of the track is repeated along blasting synths and bashful rolling drums. A breakdown reveals movements of distorted lead synth and guitar power-chord as the rhythms surge through meaty bars of thump and thunder.
