After Hard Records dropped THD shortly after the release of their second album
"Outside In", their fans cried foul. As it turns out, half a dozen other acts
were pruned from the label with the excuse of money and a changing label
focus. This abuse only hardened the tenacity of THD who then recently emerged
with record deal with the Pennsylvania Electro upstart Pendragon Records after
a few years of dormancy. The time THD were AWOL from the scene was well spent
this album indicates. Unlike most of their brethren, THD ignore the Electronica
revolution of late and continue their tested method of quality Electro with a
style and sound that is quite unique. Purists might complain when they hear the
Funk influenced "Days Ahead" with its Rappy vocal work, or the trippy bass
rhythms of the title track, but these innovative genre shattering ideas are
what THD have been about since their inception. Besides, you can always listen
to 'Icon of Fear' on perpetual repeat if you want an example of a picture
perfect Electro piece. Me, I'll just enjoy the electronic diversity of this
release as it was intended and not nitpick about occasional odd drum section.
