Not a Battle but a Massacre

by The Exocet

supported by

Roberto Shalom Inhumane, beautifully crafted synth sound. With all due respect to the classics, The Exocet is not afraid to implement innovative solutions. And the gear list is MASSIVE! don't read it, if you have a G.A.S.

The Serial Chiller As a big videogame fan, I totally dig it. Kinda reminds me of early Jesper Kyd, Matt Furniss etc.

allahisabycicle This year we’ve lost Vangelis, but got Exocet. Not a Battle but a Massacre breathes professionalism and enthusiasm. Very exquisite mix of dark ambient (well everything dark) and synthwave. Like Lustmord that I can actually dance to a bit.

Emily Rkrankvch Truly a delight for the listeners of Steve Moore’s plethora of projects (Zombi, etc). Slow old school electronica for the cold hearted.

Alberto Gustaffson Horror movie soundtracks, anyone? Exocet knows exactly what he's doing with his minimalist darkwave keyboarding straight from The Thing.

I : Golden Head
by Sol Ether

supported by 52 fans who also own “Not a Battle but a Massacre”

A solid debut from a promising band, Golden Head is one hell of a first statement. My favourite pick would be Morrigan, the track truly highlights everything Sol Ether has to offer. Deeply mystical work that resonates on a subconscious level, appealing to instincts and fears rather than betting on shock value. And those vocals - it’s pure primal rage Mr Shredder
