Krystal System - Rage (2013)

By iurgi -


Originating from France, Rage is Krystal System's third album and the first one I listen to. The music moves between electro-industrial and industrial-rock. 

Most of the songs have predominantly clean female vocals. The music is quite electronic but when guitars enter they are quite heavy and metal. Male vocals are use sparingly to great effect.

The album is consistent but still displays a wide range in the music and delivers great songs.

You can listen to the album and support the band on their BandCamp page   here
