Genre/Influences: EBM, Industrial.
Format: Digital.
Background/Info: Belgian formation KNK has been busy for a couple of years and has released a few productions.
Content: The band claims to compose ‘dead body music’ and that’s a rather appropriate title for the music they compose. It sounds dark and even tormented; now and then reminding me of the bass lines of Pouppée Fabrikk and next experimenting with Industrial sound treatments reminding me of Dive. I noticed 90s EBM influences but also haunted atmospheres.One of the songs features female vocals by Hilde Ivens (sister of Dirk Ivens).
+ + + : The main strength of this formation is that they’re striving for an own sound. It’s EBM, but with an explicit dark -and ‘dead’, approach. The opening cut perfectly stands for the KNK sound.
– – – : Some songs could have been more elaborated while the sound production is suffering from a lack of professionalism.
Conclusion: I’m not totally convinced, but KNK has something different -maybe unique, from other EBM bands, which incites me to keep an eye on this band.
Best songs: “Bleak Sunset”, “Lifeless”, “Minimal”.
Rate: 7.
