The press unanimously voted I:SCINTILLA as the most valuable and outstanding discovery by Alfa Matrix in 2006. Their "Havestar" EPCD was an immediate club favourite and I:SCINTILLA rapidly started appearing on countless compilations both on the metal and electro scene while their video for "Capsella" received heavy rotation across the world. With their album "Optics" this Illinois-based quartet continue their fast ascension towards the top bringing an intoxicating blend of industrial beats and atmospheric creations. The seductive voice of female singer Brittany Bindrim instantly brings comparisons to GARBAGE and EVANESCENCE, while their intricate layers of guitars and dominating electro synth lines bring them closer to the feel of NINE INCH NAILS. Catchy and furious at the same time, I:SCINTILLA offer an addictive cocktail of hard-edged industrial, intense female vox, crunchy guitars and electro beats. The group precisely finds its force with its unique ability to seamlessly jump genres, from fast paced saturated tracks to electro songs with a lighter feel, with a constant charismatic and alluring attitude.
The limited box edition includes a 12-track bonus cd with remixes by COMBICHRIST, MORTIIS, CLAN OF XYMOX, En Esch (KMFDM), ANGELSPIT, etc.
