FRACTURE - Hell
Songs: 13  Time:  32:59
Over one year in the making, Fracture's Hell EP was quite a disappointment.  Having been looking very forward to this release because I thought that his Killernet CD was outstanding, Hell proved that some great things only happen once.  Hell is the soundtrack to a movie of the same name and the majority of the pieces on this EP do reflect that soundtrack quality.  The first three tracks (Hell, On Earth, and H.O.E.) are, for all intense and purposes, a longer, more atmospheric remix of the same track off of Killernet.  Deep Within and Killdrive (also blended together) are a pair of tracks that sample the chorus from Hell and beef it up bit with some more electronic bleeps and blips and a meatier beat.  Death Destruct takes some of the heavier elements of Hell and expands upon them while adding in the 'death destruct' vocal sample.  Grind Zero trots along with a repeated guitar sample and a slight beat.  Epicentre sounds as if Fracture listened to KMFDM and attempted to remix Hell to sound as much as Sasha as he could have.  The remaining pieces are short, uninspired instrumentals that lead nowhere fast.  Hopefully this was just a phase and the next Fracture CD Al3xis can step his music back up to the pinnacle that it once rested.
