MICROCHIP TERROR’s – ‘Illegal Experiments 2’

Robin Ono — Thu, 18 Mar 2021 16:00:59 +0000

For all of you sickos out there, whose senses ache in craving for the next fix of ultraviolence, here’s a little something that will keep your buzz going. Singaporean producer Microchip Terror is back with the follow up to the industrial Darksynth mayhem that was 2018’s Illegal Experiments. Mastered by Dynatron, Illegal Experiments 2 is a radical take on the darksynth music that will undoubtedly repulse and offend bandcampers looking for a bit of cozy, soothing retro nostalgia.

Vile, twisted and incredibly abrasive, Microchip Terror has served yet another polarizing classic that switches up comfort with unapologetic subversion. Fans of pure Japanese cyberpunk mayhem (think Shinya Tsukamoto and Shozin Fukui), your prayers have been answered.

Microchip Terror ‘Illegal Experiments 2’ is out now on Bandcamp and Spotify.

Microchip Terror – Illegal Experiments

Microchip Terror – the sadist from Singapore – is back in dastardly action and ready to showcase the fruits of his latest evil research in his debut LP “Illegal Experiments!”

This vile and foul release is a prefect blend of darksynth and industrial, building a new sound that other darksynth artists can only tease at. This release is reaching up to the greats like Carpenter Brut, GosT and Perturbator.

However, “Illegal Experiments” turns away from the outright slasherwave aesthetic, instead relying on a mix of the Lovecraftian “Reanimator” and “Tetsuo: The Iron Man” – creating his very own warped, original imagery.

The last track of this album, “Megatron” pays homage to Microchip Terror’s industrial roots, honoring the late Chu Ishikawa who composed industrial soundtracks like “Tetsuo: The Iron Man,” and “Dead or Alive 2: Birds.”

All around Microchip Terror has tuned this release with more melody better production than his first self titled EP – a fantastic update to an already polished sound! Check it out below!
