• The Southern hemisphere seems to generally be a fertile ground for dark and hard Electro. After Mexico being a well-established source for hellish sounds, it is now Italy’s turn to send out another promising heir to the Hardfloor-throne. While building their music on a solid foundation of EBM-sequencers, Techno-beats and melodic Trance-leads, combined with aggressive shouts, Adam manage to position themselves with a distinct note of their own. This is the result of two main distinguishing factors: the first one being the intermingling of classic Hardfloor with light, melodic Eighties-influences. The second one is the voice of the quartet’s singer, Jeez. Its raw charm displays a certain affinity towards Dark Metal shouts, thus unleashing a far greater aggressive potential than the usual high-pitched screeches. Furthermore, the guy can really sing and doesn’t hesitate to showcase his talents. This balancing act between aggression and emotions spawns a whole new sub-genre: Emo-Hardfloor. A showcase example is Adam’s version of the Eighties classic “Send Me an Angel”, originally by Real Life. While transforming the piece into a much harder and contemporary club context, is melodic essence is left intact. Thus, at the hands of the Italian quartet, the romantic New Wave number becomes a first-class floor burner. Adam celebrate their electronic venture into the bowels of hell as a matter of the heart, making their self-titled debut an album that will not only shake and stir you thoroughly with fat beats but that is also destined to leave a lasting impression. Listening to “Adam”, you cannot shake the feeling that Angels and Devils might have been sealing secret alliances all along.
