With a steel-like riffs, hypnotic beats and alienated vocals, which are hardly more earthly, V2A open the eternal gates to the underworld and ring the soundtrack with their brandnew album. Menacing-morbid Imaginations of abnormal worlds show themselves before the inner eye, while the German-British project about Walhalla senses and gradually trances. Musically, the apocalyptic sound construct, staged by the two creative minds Kevin Stewart (alias 304) and Ines Lehmann (alias 316), oscillates between EBM and industrial, enriched with dystopian-technoid sounds. 'Heretic' is extremely hard, much more focused, more focused and more cinematic than ever before. V2A undergo a constant evolution, move in a whirlpool of innovative energies and, with 'Heretic', once more conquer the black cyber-temples of the earth-richness and put them in ruins. Anyone who has been able to experience V2A on their previous tours as a support of greats such as Suicide Commando, Combichrist, FunkerVogt or Nachtmahr knows the kind of hot steel the ambitious mechanics produce. 'Heretic' is the impressive cornerstone of its future. Mad Max would be proud of her.
