A dark masterpiece of industrial pop
"Casualty" is the new song from Straight Razor, and it doesn't disappoint. From the first listen, you can feel the dark atmosphere that envelops the song like a heavy blanket. Dark, menacing sounds dominate the track, making it a perfect addition to any electronic Halloween playlist. The industrial sounds are downright brutal and at times reminiscent of sound effects from horror movies. You could almost believe they come from a strange world, which only further emphasises the song's uniqueness.
A big plus of "Casualty" is the attention to detail in the sound design. Where other artists often fall back on predefined presets, Straight Razor shows an independence here that is reminiscent of the great pioneers like "Depeche Mode" or "Vince Clark". The sounds seem well thought out and experimental, and that's exactly what makes the song so captivating. The synth pop influence gives it a certain catchiness, but it never drifts into the trivial. The track remains consistently exciting and challenges the listener to let themselves fall completely into the dark soundscape.
The accompanying music video also reinforces the oppressive and ominous mood of the song. It perfectly underscores the pictorial quality of the music, which already seems like the soundtrack to a horror film without any visual support.
