Arise-x
Dogma
On the 4th album of the formation ARISE-X with the title DOGMA, the band continues their style consistently and yet again takes different paths. The danceable electro-industrial sound remains typical Arise-X, but contains new facets. The listener can expect a mix of dark electro, paired with influences from other genres. Electronic, hard, danceable and yet always melodic and with hooklines that stick in the ear. Even though the majority of the songs are clearly aimed at the dancefloor, there are also quiet and deliberate moments that show the band from a different side. Not least through the use of the female voices of the singers Patricia and Maureen, a sound image is created that goes far beyond the boundaries of the usual dark electro acts. Predominant, however, is the Scream Voice of singer Peloquin, whose roots in black metal remain audible. In terms of content, most of the topics are socially critical. A look at everyday life and topics that accompany us all constantly: loss, war, death, love, Germany in transition and social injustice are topics that are touched upon.
