Breaking The Simulation

by Holon

supported by

Jordan Vauvert Deux mondes s'affrontent dans Breaking The Simulation. Si l'electronica de Holon est toujours aussi plaisante à suivre, le sujet est grave et abordé avec désillusion. Pas de discours direct, mais je vois une personne luttant contre un monde cybernétique qu'elle déteste (la première partie est ambiante, humaine, on entend même le vent dans "Integrity Preserved") mais qu'elle finit par rejoindre ("The Price Is Your Humanity"). La seule issue est finalement ce "goodbye" suivi d'un coup de feu. Favorite track: Breaking The Simulation.

s044va This one is just incredible, I have never expected cyber ambient music to take me to such a different world. So sublime – and simultaneously so intensive, so suggestive. Favorite track: The Place That Never Was.

FLESH MECHANIC Breaking the Simulation is a great mixed bag of throwback late 90's industrial and cyberpunk aesthetics of games like Deus Ex. Holon really nailed those vibes on this album as you can almost smell the streets filled with augmented people. And there are some really sick basslines on this album as well. Favorite track: Street Level Cybernetics.

Echo Season Some of the best industrial I've heard in years. Gritty and direct with a strong sense of melody and atmosphere. No nonsense beats, and that bass- it's monolithic! Great stuff. Favorite track: Street Level Cybernetics.

Cell Awesome themes and awesome beats. Holon puts his all in this and it really shows. Keep up the great work! Favorite track: A Singular Purpose.

Survival Mechanism
by sylac

supported by 107 fans who also own “Breaking The Simulation”

Un de ces projets que j'ai pris le temps de découvrir grâce à Poesy Rider (qui connaît tous les bons trucs, ça ça ne change pas). Survival Mechanism, premier album de l'entité sylac, fait un mélange de synthwave et de musique industrielle. Ne cherchez pas chez lui les envolées de pure agression comme avec PERTURBATOR ou Carpenter Brut : ici, tout est agencé de manière glaçante ("All According To Plan" dont le titre est cruellement juste), probablement parce que les machines ont déjà gagné...

Entropic Decay
by sylac

supported by 86 fans who also own “Breaking The Simulation”

Mark Rydyger est très productif quand il s'agit de créer des albums pour Holon ; pour sylac, il suit plutôt la philosophie du "tout ou rien", Entropic Decay étant sa deuxième sortie de 2021. Dans tous les cas, la qualité est une constante : Entropic Decay est moins agressif et abrasif que Legacy System Collapse mais le sens du rythme est bien plus mis en avant. La machine se connecte à nos synapses et nous contrôle pour nous faire danser et j'aime ça — ou elle me fait croire que j'aime ça... Jordan Vauvert
