With the release of their fifth album, Alien Faktor have chosen to shy away
from some of their more caustic and noisier compositions in favor of a more
solid Coldwave hybrid style of music. "Arterial Spray... " also marks the first
time that live guitarist Mike Hunsberger has been considered and partner
in the project. Vocalist and programmer Thomas Muschitz has also incorporated
the aid of Chris Randall of Sister Machine Gun on 'Liber Hate' and Scott
Sturgis of Pain Station on 'Zombie March'. Overall this new infusion of
musical input in conjunction with the more accessible music makes for a very
catchy collections of songs. For the first time Alien Faktor has a musically
cohesive release so listeners no longer have to endure a sometimes jarring
genre change between tracks. Standout tracks include the almost acoustic
string arrangements on 'The Divine Molestation', the slow dirge mood of 'Love
Under Will' and the thundering vehemence of 'Ants, Sheep, Drunks, and Whores'.
Once again the artwork and the overall presentation of the complete product is
stellar. As long as Decibel Records continues to release such quality projects
as the new Alien Faktor, they should be in business for quite some time.
