TEKKNO

Product Information

All of the aforementioned elements flow quite nicely into ‘ We Got The Moves‘ which could essentially be described as a sibling of ‘ Pump It‘, only this time, the heavy chuggy guitars are the main focus outside of the chorus, alongside forceful drums, hard-style synth beats and easily accessible screams and cleans that go hand in hand like a seasoned moshpit fiend and their pop music loving partner at a local show. Yes, the critic hat unfortunately does have to come back on and the party has to stall, because for as entertaining as Tekkno is, that’s not enough to fully slide it outside the realm of issues that hold it back from much more. Right now, I can imagine them flipping me off with a tiny hand on each finger (linked below, so you will know what the hell I am talking about), and I am so glad they didn’t take my advice. It’s all designed as a rush in which subtlety is as foreign a concept as they come, and where a lot of the production reflects that in some pretty evident flatness.

In August 2013 the band made an appearance at Wacken Open Air, [8] as well as on the Geki Rock Tour in Japan. They’re by far the least entertaining points on Tekkno, not for being bad as much as a bit generic and disjointed with the overall tone. Moreover, they truly upped their game in “We Got the Moves” by combining a rave-themed breakdown with a conventional one. Rounding out TEKKNOis closing track ‘ Neon‘ – a power ballad full of soaring anthemic vocals that’ll no doubt induce sing-a-longs once you learn the words. Their earlier work can easily be compared to that of Asking Alexandria and Motionless In White – undisputable metalcore with electronic enhancements and some absurd lyrics alongside the more poignant.Clocking in at ever so slightly over half an hour in its total length, it’s an album that flies by at breakneck speed, with no time for the listener to rest and catch their breath. A hot contender for one of the most important metalcore albums of the year, “Tekkno” delivers the most diverse sound the band from Castrop-Rauxel has ever presented. Metalcore (or metallic hardcore) is a fusion music genre that combines elements of extreme metal and hardcore punk. Hardstyle beats (“Parasite”) also join the heavy and driving metal sound on “Tekkno,” adding a rhythmic component to the guitar riffs with electronic inserts that further polish their sound. However, it might not be what fans of their earlier sound – or even just ‘Hypa Hypa’ – are expecting.

Vocal-wise, think of Michael Bolton meets Chester Bennington (around the ‘ BURN IT DOWN‘ / LIVING THINGS album era of Linkin Park), with hard rock/EDMcore vibes and synth-a-plenty, this doesn’t have the same energy as the pit friendly tracks we’ve mentioned throughout, but it serves as the perfect closer and interlude into whatever this band of misfits do next. huge breakdowns, brilliant pop choruses, modern and old-school electro, metalcore riffs, and a large dose of escapist fun. It illustrates how thin the line is between an album like Tekkno working, and barely being able to hold itself together. The juxtaposition of the two core genres in this song set up the expectations for the rest of the album – and as the band have stated in the past, they’re working with genres they love – with the end result proving heavy metal and techno go hand in hand in a weird and wacky way.

They have to be; there’s no way to twist this as a serious endeavour anymore, so why not crank up the unrepentant, unapologetic kitsch of it all and just go from there? The sampling of course isn’t done in halves as warning alarms and ray guns can be subtly heard intertwined around thundering beats and riffs.

If you prefer uptempo clubcore, then ‘ Arrow of Love‘ is going to hit you right in your stupid Cheshire grin sporting face.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.
