Two years after the brutal Autoviolator, Antwerp’s very own Neoslave has returned with his third full-length album. Announced as a decisive new step in synth music, ‘Unparallel’ will immediately strike old-school fans off-guard with its fresh sonic and visual aesthetic. Indeed, the producer has toned down the distorted aggression in favour of a moodier, post-punk sound that could just as well fit in a goth night DJ set than a Cyberpunk game trailer. The glossy synthpop touches will no doubt polarize listeners expecting yet another satanic darksynth onslaught, though Neoslave’s reconversion will be sure to strike a fancy amongst 80s Britpop aficionados.
Neoslave ‘Unparallel’ is out now via Lazerdiscs Records via Bandcamp and Spotify.
