In times where every band that puts together tracks using a standard sound module and vocal distortion in their bedroom is hyped as the new hope in the “Harsh Electro” or “Dark Electro” genre, an album like “Skull And Bones” feels like a cleansing shock. Belgian legend Vomito Negro, who have been active since the mid Eighties, still celebrate their sound with an intensity, creativity and passion that makes most recent hard Electro projects sound like a weekend trip to Disneyland. The spirit of “Skull And Bones” is of the deepest black… no hope, no mercy! Rhythmic loops are thudding relentlessly under dark sound scapes and the heavily manipulated shouts leave no room for sunny feelings. Even after being active for more than a quarter of a century, Vomito Negro are still a trademark name for a club compatible trip to hell that is bound to stir up, unsettle and electrify. The new album from one of the pioneers of the dark side of electronic music will be released as a limited first edition with a “best of” compilation as a bonus disc.
