That Johan van Roy’s newly signed contract with the German label giant Out Of Line hasn’t altered his traditionally well-going support and distribution via Metropolis Records, is surely a good point for all US-based listeners of the Belgian sound-slaughter. New albums from him are generally a feast for his fans and it seems to be quite sure, that also "Implements Of Hell" will reach a high level of recognition through in and out of this music scene. But this fine fact can not tarnish the impression, that this new album has been produced under a high pressure of time and it seems to be a bit unready – that happens, if you decide to deal with the biggest sharks in the sea. There are good reasons for Johan, since his private life throughout the past 3 years has taken a lot of episodes, which can let a normal musician struggle. At least we have to congratulate to his newborn family addition named Liam. Those things take influence, no matter how much someone would argue against this. "Implements Of Hell" is generally that kind of album you would expect from Johan, but it unfortunately doesn’t come up with surprises. At least nearly half of the featured content is already known for his die-hard fans, another typical sign, that this album got compiled in a rush. This album holds his already 2 years old smasher "Hate Me" in a new and revamped version, both tracks of his last teaser release "Die Motherfucker Die" and "Come Down With Me", both tracks of his 7 " vinyl single "Until We Die/Severed Head" - and at least especially this fact is a hit in the faces of all buyers of this special limited item. No worked-out thematically emphasis, this album rather acts like a collection of typically SC-related themes, like his always and often recognized aversion against religion, one serial-killer related track, mankind, death, hate and envy. With "The Pleasures Of Sin" this album offers an ideal additional stomper to the already known "Die Motherfucker Die", especially dedicated to the Hellectro-kids, while his older fans will rather select his both tunes "Until We Die" and "Severed Head". Possible future releases with remix works seem to be near with "God Is In The Rain", which could follow this album soon as being an additional promotion tool. "Implements" of course comes out too in a special limited box-set, which features a bonus remix CD, a shirt and other goodies – at least also this doesn’t surprise, as well as the musically content. Well, I can reduce the result of this album on the slightly disrespect formula, that the cow still gives milk – so why should Johan change anything? It even gets difficult, if the "cows" start to think. "Implements..." is an average SC-album, but this means, that it is still better and more intensely produced, than any other 08/15-project out the Harsh EBM/Hellectro-genre would be able to offer.
