Aslan Faction - Sin-Drome of Seperation

The English band Aslan Faction is on the German label Niotekk and were supposed to do their first gig in Sweden during the Electric Gathering Festival in Stockholm in the end of August, but unfortunately they cancelled. The band has just started to get known around the country and I think that the gig at EGF would have made them more famous. But maybe in the future the band will come here and be as famous as they are beginning to be in Germany and their home country England.

Aslan Faction is a relatively new star at the heavier EBM sky with their aggressive and merciless music that makes you think of bands like Hocico and Suicide Commando. Earlier the have released two E.P's, two CD's and been on some compilations. The E.P contains five new songs and a number of remixes of these (from bands like Fiendflug which have a really high standard).

Cruel, powerful and energetic. All songs have a high standard and I'm not disappointed at all. It would have been really fun to see them live.
