Mergel Kratzer - Virus FLAC download

Having formed in 2005, Mergel Kratzer is a fresh new-comer to the scene of electronic dance music, primarily EBM. With their first MCD, Virus, Mergel Kratzer present 4 pounding dance tracks with hearty rhythms, vigorous beats, grinding synths, and altered vocals. My immediate favorite was the Kadaver mix of Virus. Taking the potent elements from the original and incorporating a non 4/4 beat structure reminded me of past Asian electro acts such as DRP and 2nd Communication. The well placed breaks within Serve the World compliment the otherwise repetitive track. Deathgame is a roughed up EBM track with noisy synths and a throttling rhythm. For only having been together for about a year, I found Merger Kratzer to be unique in the fact that they are not trying to emulate another bands sound, but rather take a different approach to the programming and arrangements of electronic dance music. written Nov '06
