VOLRUPTUS Vinyl & CDs

Review: You'd expect an EP called Big Bang Energy - especially one crafted by the combined talents of Sweaty Records regular Volruptus and electro/techno heavyweight Jenson Interceptor - to be full of heavy, high-octane treats. It is, of course, with opener 'Everything' adding aggressive electronic motifs, mind-mangling riffs, broken computer beats and 808 bass to a fast and sweaty electro beat. The all-out aggression is tempered a little on the admittedly filthy and mind-mangling 'Alien Realm', but it returns on the frankly insane, buzzing and bleeping techno surge of 'Unknown Source' and 'End of the Human Race'. The latter is quite bouncy and fun, despite its clear dystopian intent.
