Velvet Acid Christ: The Art Of Breaking Apart

This new album is nothing short of amazing. Opening with the track "Tripped Out" you get a sense of pure power, and life, that runs through the whole album, like a butcher chasing a pig. A metric ton of feelings and honesty is crammed behind the lyrics of this album. As one progresses through, a mix of real instruments and synths are heard, that are composed in such a way, that the listener feels like they are the subject of a film, or music video. Life itself, seems to morph, as each track, evokes feelings of multiple ranges. Track number seven (Caustic Disco) is a pure jolt of movement inducing power. Untouched, the song is an amazing piece of art, that was turned into a gigantic club style track, in Mindless Faith's remix.
Being the insanely skilled audio manipulators that the current members of V.A.C are, every second of this new album is better than the next, ending with the track "Silver", leads to un-manipulated vocals or a podcast, giving a greatly informative explanation of how the album itself was created.
In closing:
I'm a huge fan of V.A.C and Bryan's work, and his accomplice on this and other albums, "Todd".
