MAN + MACHINE & EMKE - ROOM TO CRY
(Incl. Velvet Claw Version)
Digital/Cassettes - Istigkeit Records
With « Room To Cry », the Hungarian Techno/EBM DJ-Producer Man + Machine team up with Emke of the internationally acclaimed Dark Pop duo « Black Nail Cabaret » to deliver an astonishing genre-crossing protest song against women abuse.
After being sadly inspired by the tragic events in Poland against the ’abortion law’ (and the suggestion of getting a “personal room” for women to have the “chance to have a cry” after giving birth to foetuses with fatal defects), Man + Machine & Emke decided to draw a larger picture and use the power of their lyrics to denounce the ongoing violence against women in our societies.
The result is a riveting song with a strong message, carried by the powerful and touching voice of Emke, at the crossroads of industrial, pop, metal, techno and synthwave music.
On the B-Side, the head of Istigkeit Records reveals a new side of his musical universe with a post-punk version of the song under a new moniker : Velvet Claw.

This album should be ranked very high in ranks of latest industrial albums, because it just crushes the competition. THIS is how it's done people. Menacing vocals, pounding drums and haunting electronics have no mercy on your ears and leave you with not one second of peace. Play this loud and do people around you a service.
