It was indeed a doubtful and not very tasteful promotional effort to announce the news that Mrs. NULL aka Erica Dunham would be pregnant and would give life to "twins" – real babies. But however – it has worked very well and here we have the "result". A double EP set with a special kind of artwork which shows only the real kind if you add chapter two, the "Absolution" EP to this first edition, which comes in a special DCD jewel case. Although that the given stuff here of both EP’s offers in all 16 tracks and the playing time of a filled full length release, the Alfa Matrix HQ decided to offer this special package, so I see it also as two different releases and therefor it receives two reviews. So here’s the start with this "Sacrament EP", which offers 4 new tracks originally composed by Erica and some remix works. "Prophecy" is the main track here, a Dark Electro track featuring ominous synth layers, diverse rhythm patterns and also some experiments on Erica’s angry vocals. A little compositional masterpiece, although not very dancefloor-friendly – this of course changes with the both tracks "This Is Your End" and "Playing The Fool". Although that Erica still got thrown into the harsh EBM scene with the related domination of SUICIDE COMMANDO and comparable colleges, I see UNTER NULL musically in a different kind. Her combination between real Dark Electro-inspired synth layers and rhythm patterns taken out of different styles like Electro, Trance, up to IDM is unique and authentic. This is surely also the result of the work of Len Lemeire of IMPLANT, who has done some production on this twin EP set. Another fine example of her style is the track "Watch You Die". Although starting simple with an often heard bass line, Erica shows some musically depth by including some subtle and melodic piano play. As for the remix works, 4 tracks got here some manipulation. "Endtime", originally available on the mentioned "Absolution EP", got reworked by the great label colleges of INURE and it gets my vote for being the best piece here. This remix unites well the mood of UNTER NULL with the refreshing Electro arrangements of INURE. The further remix works done by ADAM X ("Disgrace", also originally available on the "Absolution EP"), T3CHNOPHOB1A ("This Is Your End") and BLANK ("Prophecy") aren’t bad at all, but they stand a lot in the shadow of the originals. From her kind and from her presence on stage, Erica surely fits with the mentioned leading acts of the Harsh EBM genre, for the music I beg to differ. Here are so much more ideas and musically depth available, that it would almost an insult to press this fine female-leaded act into a redundant genre. Well done release, let’s have a look to the twin EP now...
