This Dying Need
Disconcerning Divine
This Dying Need = early Front 242 + Pretty Hate Machine

This Dying Need might turn off non-industrialists, but for those with initiated palettes, they’ll come off as decent at their brand of old-school industrial beats and undressed synths with mainstreamish dark pop structure. At moments, their sound resembles a more polished, less whiny Pretty Hate Machine, because of those accessible song structures, but at their heart they recall the first attempts of most of the initial Wax Trax artists raw, stripped-down, not too fussy, with angstful lyrics of frustration, alienation and anger. Lots of atmosphere pervades set by quiet violin synths and piano.
