House Of Violent Shadows - Xxxtasy

Review by Laura Blanco

House Of Violent Shadows' latest album, Xxxtasy, is a dark and intense journey into the depths of the human psyche. The band's unique blend of industrial, metal, and electronic music creates a haunting soundscape that perfectly complements the album's themes of addiction, obsession, and self-destruction.

From the opening track "Addicted", which features a driving beat and distorted vocals, to the hauntingly beautiful "Requiem", Xxxtasy takes the listener on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. The album's standout track, "The Abyss", is a powerful and bleak meditation on the consequences of addiction, with lyrics that are both poetic and brutally honest.

The production on Xxxtasy is top-notch, with each instrument and sound carefully crafted to create a dense and atmospheric sound. The band's use of electronic elements adds an extra layer of complexity to the music, creating a sense of unease and tension that never lets up.

Summary by Laura Blanco

Xxxtasy is a stunning achievement for House Of Violent Shadows. It's a dark and challenging album that rewards repeated listens, and showcases the band's unique talent for creating music that is both visceral and thought-provoking. Fans of industrial and electronic music should definitely check this out.
