2012 … the year of the apocalypse. Quite a few people believe that ancient Mayan prophecies point toward the end of the world being near. Berlin’s shooting stars Formalin have created an album that fits hand in glove. "Wasteland Manifesto" conjures up a dark, aggressive and highly emotional scenario for a planet that has been hit with the biggest possible catastrophe. Taking the classic Industrial sound of the late Eighties and early Nineties and spicing it up with modern beats, gigantic mountains of electronica and an all-permeating atmosphere of doom, the duo catapults the listener into the barren, dilapidated and deeply misanthropic world of the Wasteland.
Instead of just riding the wave of their highly successful debut, Formalin have succeeded at further developing their sound with impressive results and prove that they are so much more than a "one album wonder." Welcome to the Wasteland.
