************************************************************ ********* Press Quotes: "MDM did everything right on "Modern Digital Militia" and transformed noisy, magnificently dirty guitar riffs, razor sharp synth sounds, a huge dose of grooviness and juicy melodies into compact, sparkling songs. Hot tip!" ZILLO Magazine (05/08) „You can’t start an album in a cooler way! Electro metal versus sampletrash, "Das ist Krieg (American Reich)" is a statement that KMFDM or Ministry couldn’t have done better, on top this is a shamelessly great earwig. MDM offer everything that friends of the industrial rock genre await from a promising band." SONIC SEDUCER Magazine (05/08) "With "Modern Digital Militia", Canada‘s MDM serve us a pulsating, dark and massive sound spectacle with meaningful content. Rumbling guitars, enthralling synths and Nux’s resolute and expressive vocals manage to fascinate right from the start." GOTHIC Magazine (05/08) "When it comes to their approach, MDM remind me about old KMFDM. Great to see that this genre seems to undergo a little renaissance. „Modern Digital Militia“ is an enjoyable album, genre specialists are very welcome to have a listen." HEAVY Magazine (05/08) "Modern Digital Militia" manages it outstandingly to combine the heavy and dirty way of Ministry with melodic catchiness and diversity. Novel, authentic, and equally danceable, rocking and atmospheric." WHISKEY-SODA.de "The sound is characterized by up-beat tempo with a high bpm rate, pushing rhythms, catchy melodies, strong vocals and voice samples. A good fusion of guitars and industrial elements." REFLECTIONSOFDARKNESS.com "Modern Digital Militia" is an essential opus for fans of KMFDM, Oomph!, Violent Work of Art and Dope Stars Inc., and encourages you to keep a closer eye on this band. One of the most surprisingly fresh releases of 2008 so far for me! INDUSTRIALIZEDMETAL.com "MDM prove they are ready to be major players on the industrial scene." ALTERNATIVE Magazine UK (June/July 08) "This is what Ministry could have sounded like if they had been inspired by a newer generation rather than just their own back catalog." REGENMAG.com ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ Press Quotes: "There’s amazingly many emotions in the songs that are offering a nearly perfect balance between electronic sounds and gothic rock/metal. A fantastic album, one only wants to close the eyes, forget the world around and dream." EMP Magazine (summer issue 2008) „This band really has a lot to offer. They manage it to tastefully spice their synthetic song structures with crisp metal riffs and an attractive combination of emotional, clean vocals and sinister growls.." HEAVY Magazine (05/08) „Artifact don’t stick to genre stereotypes, and this is what makes this band so strong. You see, it’s actually possible to make industrial metal without sounding staccato 24/7. These Scandinavians are absolutely a safe bet." SONIC SEDUCER (05/08) "They blend elements from gothic, industrial, rock and metal, add a big scoop of individuality and put huge, catchy melodies on top. Artifact are one of the most talented newcomer bands I’ve heard in a long time. Must-have!" ZILLO Magazine (05/08), Album of the Month "If one gets involved with Artifact, one will experience an enjoyable surprise: the band sounds totally laid-back – and absolutely professional." METAL HAMMER (06/08) "The rocking mix of gothic metal, electro, wave and remarkable, deep vocals which partly remind of Pete Steele sounds respectably well composed and varied. Within the musical intersection between Type 0 Negative, Paradise Lost, Rammstein, Sisters Of Mercy and Samael, Artifact managed to involve a good amount of hooklines and melodies." ROCK HARD (06/08) "Artifact's 'The Only Salvation' is an essential release for your collection, which you can buy blindly without the risk of a dissapointment." INDUSTRIALIZEDMETAL.com "Sometimes one unexpectedly make rather pleasant discoveries. The Norwegians Artifact certainly can be counted to them. It's a pleasure to listen to The Only Salvation." HARD ROCK Magazine France (June 08) "Impeccable songwriting, epic guitar work, brooding machines: a winning formula! An impressive debut." ALTERNATIVE Magazine UK (June/July 08) "Combining down-tuned riffs and crunchy synths, the album's early stages are an intriguing blend of metallic muscle and dark industrial menace." KERRANG! Magazine UK (August 08) |
