Return to hell

"Electronomicon is a great cyber-metal CD. A few years ago The Electric Hellfire Club announced that they wished to change their sound, and didn't want to be pigeon-holed in the goth/industrial category. They have moved guitars completely to the front of their music. The CD begins with a few hard core tacks that remind me of that great late-80's thrash like Slayer, Exodus, or Nuclear Assault. Slowly, the keyboards enter into the mix adding a nice future/cyber ambiance. Kind of reminds me of "Iron Helix" by Xorcist.This CD is really good. Once you dig into the tracks there is a lot there, a highpoint definitely being Tannhauser Gate. They are creating their dark satan music, but never taking themselves too seriously (as is evident by "I Dream of Demons" and "Wired in Blood"). I give it only 4 stars, because listening to it, I know this CD will have to grow on me. "Kiss the Goat" and "Burn, Baby, Burn" on the other hand, both grabbed me right away.For new fans, I'd say if you're more of a metal head, go ahead and get "Electronomicon". If you're more of a goth/rivit head, I'd start out with one of the older CD's that I mentioned above. For older EHC fans, if you really liked "The Witness the Millennium", you will probably like "Electronomicon"."

"As an EHC collector and Fan, i jumped to get this album and the sound is amazing. Beautiful use of samples. The songs that will definately get your heart racing are Hypochristian, Whores of Babylon, Broken Goetia, and This Is The Zodiac. But don't leave it at that. the whole CD is an amazing and is a must own"

"It took a few listens for me to get into this one. I guess I'm still sentimentally tied to the sound of 'Burn Baby Burn'. I need to get over it, since this band tries something a little different on each album. On its' own terms, this is one scary little record. Try listening to it in the dark. Demonic robo-metal."
