“Bitchcraft” – featuring KMFDM – is an absolutely ball grabbing, full on assault of the senses, a multilayered hot mess of excellence. Vocals are layered, yet clean, direct and piercing. “Irrationality” -featuring Spirituality Front – with its old school feel, unique percussion effects, underlying techno vibe with a subtle haunting melodic undertone. “Cocaine” – featuring Deflore – Electronica at its finest, with an infectious hook with gritty chorus and must sing-a-long lyrics; A dark and dangerous groove with murky innuendos. “Surrender” – featuring Deathstars – Stripped down, almost romantic vibe. Depraved sexual undertones with classic industrial licks. “Machine Guns” – featuring Army of the Universe – with its sluggish tempo, the emphasis here is on lyrical gold offering a very mid-90’s feeling with thinly hidden aggression. “The New System” – featuring Aborym – Easy flowing techno-magic served wrapped up in an industrial groove blanket. “I Curse You” – featuring Zu – Seedy, sneaky and deliciously slimy. This song attaches itself to you, and slithers up and down your spine, leaving chills that seem to last for days. “Blind or Dead” – featuring The Enigma TNG – is smooth yet jagged, with an acidic aftertaste, dripping with thinly veiled contempt. “Can’t You Remember” – featuring Hate Inc. – This song channels all that was beautifully wicked during the heyday of bands like Depeche Mode; a prime example of what a superior Industrial/Techno song should be. “Black Dreams” – featuring Orax – Instrumental gold: A pure composition swirled with mystery and innuendo. A great song for a movie soundtrack.
Technomancy overall is a solid techno album, with a strong Industrial feel and a healthy taste of Nu-Metal. This album has a retro vibe throughout most of it, making the listener reminisce and think back to the days of freshly signed NIN and Marilyn Manson.
