MINDLESS FAITH – Momentum

I Believe!

Mixing every electro genre invented so far, this “rising force in the underground” trio threatens to unite all parts of our fragmented scene. Yes, you! You who alienated yourselves after Ministry’s descent; you who said that after Nitzer Ebb’s demise there’s no true electro band; you who come from trance scene, here is a band with a promise!
Although they say:” No Promised Land/ There is no Canaan found in our ascension/ No answers found in our progression” I find meaning in their lyrics and belief in their message. Strong dose of nihilism and defeatism gives ever too familiar taste to a group of musically diverse songs. I might even say Mindless Faith used perfected molds of NIN, KMFDM, FLA soundwork to create “Momentum”. Plus, clearly unique cuts like ‘Canaan’ and biggest hit ‘Singular’ add to count of fantastic tracks. It takes courage and skill to combine spicy latino guitar sample and painful lyrics: “Fabricate identities of individuality/ But we are not/ We are just reflections…”

These two noted characteristics of Mindless Faith I clearly find the most striking. It is common practice among painters to mimic established styles until they fully develop their own, we have it applied here. Putting message and ideas across through nicely shaped lyrics also distinguishes this album. A birth of a truly great band has been withessed here.

I believe ‘Momentum’ will carry Sevanick brothers forward in that direction, towards further development of their style. I put my faith in progressive industrial of 21st century whose contours are discerning here. Yes, you! Fans of gothic music, followers of Robert Smith, Andrew Eldritch, Peter Murphy and other greats of the past, awaken! All praises and monuments to Jourgenson, Reznor and others but it is time. Time for a new movement, new energy and a new momentum. Shalll Mindless Faith carry the torch? They might. If they continue along the path of fast electronics, strong lyrics and ionic drive, they just might. I strongly believe.
