Alien Creation is a new electronic, gothic, industrial project from
percussionist Chris Clark based in London. Chris Clark is known for being the
drummer of the 90’s gothic rock act Nosferatu. He is also involved in the new
reincarnation of The Nosferatu who are making a new start this autumn. Alien
Creation have also performed live with additional members on live bass and
guitar. The EP "Unique Lab Accidents" is his first self-release which
includes six tracks.
The EP starts
off with "Alien Prototype". A catchy dance track with a dynamic beat,
with thumping powerful basslines and waves of electronic sonic sounds.
"Fighting The Future Demons" that follows is a darker track, while
"Terminal Distortion" is a much faster track with break beats and
distorted vocals. On "Into The Dark" we have a thump of a more monotonous
techno beat with the vocals retaining their industrial roughness. With "Alien
Machines" the stumping beat continues but here with o more gothic vibe. The
EP closes with "Into The Dark (No Regret Mix)", here with a more
playful mix exploring the unlimited possibilities of programming.
With this
release Chris Clark showcases his infectious dance tracks that probe deeply
into the senses with the ‘power of the bass drum’ his signature driving force
behind his unique sound. The act describes it sound like IAMX meets The Prodigy
mixed with a dash of Combichrist and Orgy. By listening to the tracks here,
they brought to mind Alien Sex Fiend’s 1994 album "Inferno" that was
their most sci-fi, space orientated work.
