Remix albums and cover songs are well known in the electronic/industrial
music scene, but east coast based act UCNX return with a brand new release
that fuses both concepts together the same way they fuse
electro-industrial, coldwave, IDM, and other styles of electronic music
together in their music. Much like their hit 2009 single "Run Your Body"
which fused Iron Maiden and Nitzer Ebb together into a tongue-in-cheek
dancefloor monster, 'Replicator' is a new beast that brings together
remixes from the band's last album, the 2011 blast of aggression
'Generation Damaged', along with a selection of brand new cover tunes that
range from such industrial legends as Ministry and Leaether Strip to other
influences like metal legend Ozzy Osbourne and 80's pop masters Tears For
Fears!
Feeling that standard remix albums and cover collections are too limited in
their scope and re-listening ability, 'Replicator' acts as a double meaning
of the word, and as a result maintains the complexity and care in UCNX's
own material and respect for history that few other bands can match.
Opening with an epic 7 minute guitar-fueled take on Nine Inch Nails'
"Terrible Lie" (that includes the rarely performed and never officially
recorded "Now I'm Nothing" intro), the album runs through a whole gamut of
sonic twists and turns, from covers of classics like Ozzy's metal ballad
"No More Tears" to influential industrial stompers like Ministry's "Isle of
Man" from 'Twitch' and Leaether Strip's EBM slice "Rotation (Axis Off)".
Standing tall right next to these twisted takes are thunderous remixes by
fellow luminaries like Society Burning, Aesthetische, Digicore, Audiowar,
90's electro act Terminal Sect, and UCNX's own new EBM-ified take on their
hit "Still" which hints to a more pure and even more danceable sound on
future works. The first in a planned series, this is the past, present, and
future of electro/industrial music all rolled into one, and another fine
addition to UCNX's sonic gospel.
'Replicator' comes in both a standard CD version, as well as a deluxe
edition package that comes with not only 5 exclusive bonus tracks including
a cover of Killing Joke's haunting new wave classic "Adorations" and the
ultra rare b-side "Eyedentify (Nuclear)" among others, but also a glossy
18" x 24" poster signed by the band.

Philly/NJ Electro-industrial/EBM/Coldwave/IDM/You-Name-It-It's-In-There
fusion band UCNX return with their sophomore LP release 'Generation
Damaged', their first release since 2009's 'Run Your Body' single, on
DSBP Records. The 9 track LP features a louder, angrier, more
aggressive sound for the group, though not losing the hallmarks of
their sound: rock-styled vocals, strong song-writing, an 90's style
influence filtered through a modern sound, & a willingness to
experiment and forge a more cohesive album that can both set the
dancefloor on fire as well as command the full attention of your
headphones.
Not counting the fun experiment of mashing up Nitzer Ebb with Iron
Maiden from the 2009 single, 'Generation Damaged' represents the
culmination of 2 difficult years for band members Doug "dOGulas"
Sudia, John "nVIR" Monette, with assistance by new studio hand and
guitarist Kurt "Zir0" Samuels. Life hardships for those involved have
bred a snarling beast of an album, featuring a strong use of guitars
to accent their hard industrial sound. Tracks like "Overgrowth" and
the title track "Generation Damaged" feature propulsive dance beats
mixed with thick synths and swirling noise loops, while tracks like
the speed tempo classic NIN-styled "Still", heavy crusher "The
Innocent" (with it's harsh noise outro being an exercise in
endurance), and the equal parts destructive yet somber "Consequence
Brings" vary the tempo and eliminate the possibility of redundancy
throughout the album. Throw in rock-styled sung vocals, a
collaboration with Blayne from fellow electro-rockers Idiot Stare and
a cover of post-punk legends Killing Joke's "Our Last Goodbye", and
you have an album that demands full attention beginning to end in the
days of pick-and-choose digital music sampling. Uncompromising sound,
variety, and a care and quality to their work that few bands can
match. For fans of FLA, NIN, Cyanotic, newer Skinny Puppy...bands that
blend heavy industrial with seamless production, crushing beats,
melody & noise, veering back and forth between ripping guitars and
thick, propulsive electronics with rock-styled vocals and intelligent
lyrics.
The new album is on pre-sale at Kickstarter, featuring special bonus
packs for donations to fund a wider release. These packs include an
exclusive 6-song EP called 'Exit Wound' featuring b-sides and bonus
mixes from Idiot Stare, Deadliner, and Gross National Produkt, UCNX
'Generation Damaged' t-shirts, your choice of up to 2 bonus DSBP label
releases, and even the chance to get album production credit! And
since none of this exists without you, the listener, you certainly
deserve it. Don't miss out!"
