about

While our Italian gang are currently locked in the studio recording much promising new material, we return with the re-release of another important milestone in SYNAPSYCHE’s repertoire completed by another surprise bonus cover version of MOBY’s pop-rock hit "Lift Me Up"...

Originally released on May 13th 2016, “The Abyss Effect” is the masterpiece album that let SYNAPSYCHE's talent explode all over the world. Another conceptual album that allowed the duo to expand their sound-style and sharpen their lyrical approach and enhance their established trademark on the dark electro / harsh EBM scene. Fully loaded with stomping beats, heavy grooves, vicious melodies, and a constantly expanding diversified vocal range, SYNAPSYCHE drag us down through a modern Dante's Hell, wherein every song is an interface to an infernal circle of the damned. From the danceable “We All Suck”, the lascivious “Venereal”, the creepy “The Flesh Party” and the hit single, “Hate And Psyche”, to the hard melody of “Angel On Vicodin” and the Italian guitar-synthed big-shot “Tabula Rasa”, this album reaches the top of creativity and quality of the band from that very moment, which they became one of the underground leaders of the rising dark electro movement.

A must for fans of COMBICHRIST, ALIEN VAMPIRES, GRENDEL, ICON OF COIL, SUICIDE COMMANDO and HOCICO.

This album should be ranked very high in ranks of latest industrial albums, because it just crushes the competition. THIS is how it's done people. Menacing vocals, pounding drums and haunting electronics have no mercy on your ears and leave you with not one second of peace. Play this loud and do people around you a service. FLESH MECHANIC

I have been following VNV and attending their concerts for years. They are an amazing band, so prolific, well travelled, classy, and down to earth. Ronan is such a humble, amazing fellow. I'll never forget his taking a person's cellphone so he could give the person on the other end in hospital a front row experience. But this track, their music, is so moving. Lyrics are so well thought out, and their sound so consistently emotive over the years. Can't say enough good about VNV. realbibliodude
