No other act signed under the German label NoiTekk has formed the typical sound and attitude of this label like Anthony Mather’s project TACTICAL SEKT. Having started as a solo effort to waste some time between releases for his main project ASLAN FACTION, TACTICAL SEKT became more successful with both previous releases "Geneticide" and the EP "Burn Process". Yes, this act is nowadays a big player in the hard Electro/Industrial scene, highest chart positions at big mail order services like Metropolis for example prove this well. No real wonder that the audience was waiting anxiously for this new full length. Too much hasn’t changed in the direction and the style of music for sure – why should it? Anthony again combines mostly hard and straight rhythm patterns with Tekkno-sounding bass lines and synth play, plus he adds his ultra-harsh distorted voice to the tracks. Definitively the kind of music nobody really can really sit still to – it works the best on the dancefloor of the dark clubs. It’s also a hard and noisy listening for your home entertainment, maybe a bit to much and overdone for the fainthearted of us. The stupid genre name "Hellektro" comes here definitively to mind and the music of some other acts like RETRACTOR, AGONOIZE or VIRTUAL EMBRACE offer allowed comparisons. Of course it is solid done and maybe the quality of TACTICAL SEKT lays in some thicker and more complex bass line sounds, but it definitively holds nothing surprising in the background. It is the expected kind of EBM/Dark Electro dose, which has some highlights, for example in "Awaken The Ghost (Final Awakening)", "Waiting For The World To End" which both offer a strong dedication to some changes of the snare and kick sounds. Also "Dark Sky" offers some well done breaks, while "American Me" brings in some heart-felting voice samples all based on the tragic happenings at 9/11. Maybe this track is meant as a special "welcome back" statement to the Californian Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, because Anthony lately decided to go back to the States and he’s currently on the move back to his home area in California. So we have in all 12 very satisfying tracks which once more will mark TACTICAL SEKT’s status to be one of the leaders of hard Electro/EBM/Industrial music in the world. I had also the luck to receive a piece of the limited and numbered of 2000 exemplars box set as a promotional copy for this review (thanx Marco!!!). It features an extra disc with 8 new and previously unreleased track of TACTICAL SEKT. Normally bands out of this music genre do offer more less tasteful arranged remix works done by mostly well known scene acts – but not TACTICAL SEKT. Again – this 8 tracks are PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED!!! EXTRA TRACKS for your hard earned money!!! The quality maybe alters a bit on a few tracks, also some long-time running instrumental pieces are on here, but the die-hard fans of this act know very well, which issue they have to pick up. Hurry up and ask for this limited box set - it should be sold out soon and become a collectors item.
