( ;D --> For over 15 years, In Strict Confidence has been creating a unique blend of electronic industrial music. Their last few releases saw an incorporation of pop sensibilities thrown into the mix to give their songs a “rock vibe” while maintaining In Strict Confidence’s signature identity. Formed in 1992, In Strict Confidence has been carving their own niche in the music world for over a decade.  The volatile combination of Dennis Ostermann (Vocals / Programming) and Jorg Schelte (Programming) have been soaring up the German charts since the band's inception. ISC burst onto the scene to rave reviews and praises from media and fans worldwide. Soon after, they were named Orkus Magazine's newcomer of the year. Since receiving this honor, ISC has not slowed down, appearing on nearly 70 compilations and releasing seven full length albums, several singles and and two EPs.In Strict Confidence has continued their development and as we cross into the new millennium, they continue to forge ahead laying the groundwork for things to come and setting the standards for all others to follow.)

( ;D --> Enter into a future prophecy world, where the stark realization of armageddon is foretold in all its hell-fire glory. ‘Solenoid’ is the narrator/observer of a planet controlled and afflicted. The future of the humanoids is about to concede to a terrifying conclusion. Prepare to be sucked into a repressive nightmare. First up: ‘Colony’ is a carved slice of visionary purgatory. Distorted pads swirl in whirlwinds of vortex like cylinders. It’s a piece of perfectly crafted technoid mayhem. On the flip: ‘Feathermen’ begs the questions: Who are they? What will they do? What is their mission? All remains unanswered, except to acknowledge that a vile plan is at work. It’s an hypnotic trip that eerily changes with every play. The main riff attacks your cranium with subtle but deadly force, eating its way into your soul. Shuffling rhythmic drum patterns are juxtaposed with curious bells and creeping washes. The Feathermen are in control. Last on the flip: ‘Pandemic’ is the absolute realization of a contaminated world. The pathogen continues to take down more and more of the planet. Steeped in urgency & despair, the space-age break gives insight to how the world might be after the annihilation….a new beginning or a end of all ends? You must decide. One thing to conclude is that however much they unleash their destruction, they can never defeat nature itself. ‘Solenoid’ delivers a distinctive, badass EP that additionally works sweet as a DJ tool.)Colony
