Synthetic Nightmare - Manufactured Dreamscapes Demo

I had the chance to catch Synthetic Nightmare with Heretics in The Lab a few months ago, and while the band leans more to the Industrial Metal side than Industrial Rock, I really dug the set. At the end of the night, they handed out some copies of their latest demo.

Synthetic Nightmare definitely has a very diverse sound, which is why I think I liked them so much. They throw in a lot of different industrial, goth, and synth elements that really made them more accessible than to just the ‘metal’ crowd. Songs like “Pure Poison” and “In Fear We Die” would definitely be well-accepted by any interested synth/industrial fan.

For an obviously self-produced demo, this was a great effort! I’d suggest a bit more tweaking on the mixing and on some vocal effects, but it definitely gives the listener a good idea of the band’s style and capabilities; and believe me, their show is tight and not to be missed.

Suggested Tracks:
“Pure Poison”
“In Fear We Die”
