Ensoph
Ensoph is a rather enigmatic Italian combo who formed in 1997 and have
recorded several diverse albums over the last decade plus.
Their earlier work was more in the avant-garde gothic metal vein, but on
Rex Mundi X-Ile
the techno/industrial influences are the driving force behind the music,
bringing to mind bands such as
The Kovenant,
Korova,
or even
Marilyn Manson.
The arrangements are quite busy, at times seeming as if they are trying
to force too much into an individual song.
The odd techno cover of
Alice In Chains's
"Would?" is novel and interesting, though probably not to AIC fans.
Ensoph is not going for an easy or traditional listen, their music is
dense and at times unapproachable, but
Mundi in particular might
be a good fit for the techno crowd.
