General: Dark electronic rock; mix of electronica rythms and head banging with distorted guitars.
1. Upbeat rythm kind of suitable for headbanging; electronica type of drum&bass/synths, distorted guitars, female vocals and male rap. "Powerful" singing (sort of like yelling in key with a nice voice).
2. Electronica type of drum&bass/synths with provocative/sexy female rapping, and strong chorus emphasized by distorted guitars. Conclusion with synth to mellow down.
3. Intro with powerful electronic synth sounds; "walking" bass&drums with female rapping/singing on top of it; gets to chorus with bass/drums distorted guitar and yelling on the background. FCC Warning: "F*** it" all over the place on chorus.
4. Female vocals on top of drum&bass&synth, and a bit of distorted guitar. Distorted guitars and drums explode to a more head banging type of rythm, especially for chorus and at the beginning. Also, "Living torture" (or something like that) chorus with female vocalist and choir-like supporting vocals on top of drum&bass&synth.
5. Piano intro, with drums and female vocals. Drums&bass&vocals continue and guitar is added, progressing to more and more distortion and more yelling in key. Heavier, slower paced rythm that's suitable for slower head banging. Piano intro theme is repeated oftem through the song.
6. Drums, bass, distorted guitar and synths in a walking rythm, but at slower pace. A little mellower than the previous tracks, with more emphasis on synths than on distorted guitars.
7. Bass and distorted guitars at an upbeat tempo; female vocals. Emphaisis on the bass&synth. In general, not a head banging type of song; but some distorted guitar parts still give it the feel of a head banging punk-rythm track, consistent with the rest.
8. Bass&synth and female rapping intro. Then female vocals are added on top of that, as well as added layers of synth/electronic sounds.
9. Bass&synth intro; then distoted guitars and bass&drums are added. Walking rythm but not too much of an intense head banging rythm; reminds remotely of African drums at times.
10. Bass, synth and electronic sounds, and female vocals/rapping on top of that. Walking rythm but mellower; not much use of distorted guitar so not much of a head banging track.
