Stormtrooper - Music For The Empire

If youd told me some months before this was released that Stormtropper was putting out an album on Deathchant I wouldn't have believed you. His material an Industrial Strength and elsewhere struck me as more indsutrial, less cut-up and above all slower than recent DC output. However, this album is a doozy: searing hardcore techno verging on speedcore - but not like the under-produced speedcore thats pumped out, this is something more intricate and cerebral than 250bpm kicks and a dutch bloke yelling about how much he hates trance. Quality kick drum manipulation throughout, especiall on the A1 with verges on the gabber equivalent of a hip-hop DJ Tool - excellent for cutting up and layering vocals over.
