SEPTEMBER 9 2009 PRESS RELEASE:
"The M.E.M.O.R.Y Lab" (feat. ex-FUNERAL ORATION, MALFEITOR members) releases full-length CD debut!
The M.E.M.O.R.Y. Lab are the 'then' brainchild of the 'now' 3-time Grammy award winning sound engineering guru Marc Urselli. Joining him in the ‘lab are Nicola “the Old Nick” Curri, (FUNERAL ORATION) and Fabrizio Giannese (MALFEITOR, ABORYM). Established in Italy 10 years ago, their debut album sees an official CD release on D-TRASH Records, on the unholy date of 09-09-09; Dark and avant-garde, this eerie set of aggro-electro industrial trash metal songs is influenced by bands such as FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, SKINNY PUPPY, THE YOUNG GODS, DAS ICH, MINISTRY, PANTERA, CHRISTIAN DEATH, FEAR FACTORY, CURRENT 93 and various post-black metal bands.
"For something that involved a couple members of the Italian black metal underground, "The Modern Expressing Machines Of Revolutionary Youth is a surprisingly retro throwback to the early industrial metal of WAX TRAX. The past decade has certainly dated the sound of these tracks, but for those of us who still wax nostalgic for the WAX TRAX/INVISIBLE era of industrial heaviness, this is like a long-lost blast from the past, a piece of hidden 90's industro-metal history finally unearthed. M.E.M.O.R.Y. LAB's sound was hardly original, taking bits of MINISTRY, SKINNY PUPPY, FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, PIGFACE and old school drum n' bass mixing it all together with basic thrash metal guitars and some scathing vocals into something that could be compared to a much more accessible version of ABORYM. Those black-clad industrial metal freaks would have gone apeshit for this back in 1994, though. The techno and drum n' bass elements are really prominent, with lots of orchestral synth stabs and electronic effects, and there are a couple of tracks that remind me of some of the newer DODHEIMSGARD stuff, too, though this shit is infinitely more danceable. This is pure old-school industrial metal for fans, a time-warp back to the days of "Land Of Rape And Honey" and REVOLTING COCKS, with just the slightest shades of black metal's influence peeking through...." -CRUCIALBLAST REVIEW
