Blackhouse is one of the few old school acts that continues to work within a
truly Industrial genre of music. Brian Ladd-Frith never forgot his musical
roots, and continues to draw on them throughout his latest album "Shades of
Black". Caustic guitar feedback, metallic percussion and ancient synthesizer
tones all crop up throughout the record. There is not a single track here that
could be described as easy listening. The music isn't painful to listen to, but
constructed in a manner not normally found in modern Electro acts. Blackhouse
utilizes a fair number of timing changes, non-standard lyrical techniques, and
a lack of overused vocal samples, to create a still very fresh style of music.
This alone rekindles my faith that there still are musical pioneers to carry
the true Industrial torch, you just have to search the dark corners to find
them.
