“The Parasite EP of the Australian EBM industrial project Shiv-r kicks off immediately with a pounding dance floor bomb which is the technoid EBM title track. Shiv-r is a prpject formed by Pete Crane (known from the electropop band The Crystalline Effect) and Lee Bullig (known from the now defunct dark electro band Stark). The club centred sequences and beats on this debut EP get company from ethereal neo-classical sounds, which make this Australian project have resemblances with the also young Dutch project Schwarzblut. ‘Fractured Light’ contains next to the club accessible beats a sound which is more focused on atmosphere and has vocals that bring to mind the successful days of Front Line Assembly. ‘Control’ goes a step further even and leaves the dance floor with a slower pace yet it is a very haunting track with horror sounds and effective use of guitar. The final two tracks are remixes of ‘Parasite’ and ‘Control’, of which the first one with its trance influences is very much focused on the dance floor. Shiv-r doesn’t bring any renewing input to the EBM scene but the club compatible tracks of Shiv-r will surely crowd the dance floor.”
