Over three years after "The Sea and the Silence", ESA returns with part one of a dual-part concept release for 2012 entitled "Themes of Carnal Empowerment". Taking inspiration from the very meaning of lust and concentrating on the energy and instability that often results, this new collection of rhythmic industrial stompers promises to be all that ESA fans have been waiting for and more.
Eleven infectious new tracks display the groovier, more energetic side of ESA. Combining hard, addictive rhythms with dark and seductive hooks, each piece creates a truly enveloping experience which rarely takes the foot off the pedal. From the solid rolling rhythm of "Red Passage Overture" to the groove-laden viciousness of "Wretch" and the distressing noisescapes of "Loss", part one of "Themes of Carnal Empowerment" finds ESA at his most mature and damaging yet.
With jaw-dropping artwork centered around the concept of lust "Themes Of Carnal Empowerment Part One" is a no-brainer for heavy industrial fans who like their rhythmic noise with a little more substance and depth.
