KINESTENCE – Transmutation (digipak CD edition, 2019)

Kinestence from Poland have created three very nice songs with a good blend between the two aforementioned styles, and all that while not overwhelming the listener. First up is Dark Cube Snake God – it has a Rammstein-esque backdrop, while the vocals tend to be more towards black metal. Overall a very somber song, which is perfectly heralded by a haunting instrumental intro. The second track is Digital Hypnosis. The dark atmosphere continues here, cooking up another glorious mix between industrial and black metal. Last up is the title track, Transmutation. This song features some blackish doom influences in its middle, before closing off with a bang. Recommended for fans of Rammstein, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Front Line Assembly, KMFDM, Die Krupps.
