eROTic - ...a million empty lives

eROTic is an undeniably raw industrial band that makes the best use of what they have at their disposal. To get a clearer picture, imagine for a moment an 80's speed-metal demon fueled by an EBM drum track and blanketed by a combination of dry British new wave verses, and hair metal choruses.

"Nothing" is clearly the top song, with a female vocal counterpart that offers a refreshing change of pace from the rest of the mostly testosterone drenched ...a million empty lives.

While the male vocals are spotty, Dr. K and Thommy Rautic's guitar work are blistering and heavy as hell. The piano performance on "Forever" was also a pleasant addition..

Other tracks worth your ears include "Problems", "Forever", "Down", and "Remember DiAnno". The rest of the album while not top shelf is offensive enough to annoy your neighbors with.

Biggest negative about the album: advertising thirteen tracks on the CD liner and then discovering only eleven on the disc.

If you enjoy The Electric Hellfire Club, or A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste-era Ministry, then eROTic is for you.
