Meat Injection released their debut album "System Anomaly"
in June 2020 on Brazilian Wave Records based in São Paulo. The album comes as a
CD ecopack with 4 panels, limited to 200 copies. It can also be found
digitally. The band was formed on February 2016 in Athens, Greece and has played
live in numerous gigs. Their debut was the "Death For Fun" EP released
in 2016 on InClub Records with former singer Plasticine K. On this release, the
band now consist of Dimitris Katsikadis and singer Cleopatra Kaido (formerly of
the band Drama Queen).
The album was
mainly created by the need to express the paradox of our times. It was recorded
between 2019-2020 and contains 10 songs. The album kicks off with the title
track "System Anomaly", an up-tempo track that combines all the
bands influences from alternative rock, electro, new wave, coldwave, darkwave
and goth. The tempo drops on "Dead Santa" and steps up only on the
chorus. The impressive "Chemical Romance" is a dark track with an
aggressive trip-hop beat (recalling acts like Massive Attack). On "A Heart
Made Of Sand" we have another electronic driven tune that has a somewhat angry
and disillusioned vocals from Cleopatra.
Halfway
through we have more rocker "Last Endlessly Lust" followed by the
more emotional "A Touch In A Dungeon". Next, we have an instrumental
with the provocative title "Deadly Horny Priest", a kind of
electronic improvisation. Things get rhythmic again on "Chaotic Ride"
and "Black Out Sentiment", ending with the dynamic, passionate and
upfront assault of "Time Infection".
