Leather Laces - Mind Control Techniques
Leather Laces unleash a dark, dystopian, immersive electro metal soundscape, 'Mind Control Techniques'. FYI, this isn't for the faint of heart. If you're ready to swallow the 'blue pill' and see how far the rabbit hole goes, dive in! The Italian electronic metal project, coming from the artist behind _SHOE, is gearing up towards the release of their debut album early next year. 'Mind Control Techniques' marks their fourth release this year, each track taking listeners down a highly focused, intense, narrative-driven rabbit hole, questioning the very nature of reality and the presence of dark forces that seek to control and destroy. Their unnerving blend of metal, synthpop and thought-provoking recordings feels aligned with something Nine Inch Nails would put out. Leather Laces are laser-focused on creating immersive soundscapes that shake listeners out of the transfixed, hypnotized states and plunge them into the deep end of beginning to see the world for what it really is. 'Mind Control Techniques' opens onto pulsating, alarming synth tones, evoking a sense of panic and confusion. Paired with subtle distortion riffs and melancholic melodies, the tension and intensity is elevated to 11, keeping you on the edge of your seat in nervous anticipation. Glitchy, invasive audio recordings start to build the alarming narrative behind 'Mind Control Techniques'. The recordings were taken from real-life interviews with people who claim to have been victims or had their loved ones experimented on in secret government projects. The track gathers momentum and pace severely, intensifying the already alarming feeling you're sitting with even more! Throughout each verse, we're exposed to different facets of 'Mind Control Techniques'. All the while, the darkly fantastic synth melodies and distortion riffs keep the edginess. The track concludes with no shortage of irony, with a lingering interview recording where the person is asked about the ethicacy of government funded mind control programs. Take it as you will, 'Mind Control Techniques' is saying things that we've been told to be shush about. Peeling back the manufactured layers of misinformation and hypocrisy to reveal the dastardly acts we've performed on our own kind, just to play the power game. This is a track that would be a fantastic soundtrack addition to the 'Black Mirror' tv series. Just like how that show presents compelling, often alarming viewpoints of humanity's boundary-pushing realities, Leather Laces are crafting surrealistic, unnerving, electro metal soundscapes that push the boundaries of what is real. Are you ready to take a trip down the metaphorical rabbit hole?
