Album Review

Senser – Restistance Now

• 31st Aug 2009

Cosmopolitan Breed 77, The Prodigy and System Of A Down mingling metal and synth rock parading is topped off with a quirky, Amy Lee rehearsing with Queen Adreena flavoured backing kick.

It renders ‘Resistance Now’, a mood and tempo flitting saunter. Heitham Al-Sayed’s philistine vocals awaken any nihilistic demon within you. Then it’s slowly nursed back into a dormant state, through the soothing sway of co-vocalist Kerstin Haigh.

Multi-genre mixing has become a bit of a theme for Senser over the past 14 plus years, yet each time they add a different slant, more instrumental robustness or cosmopolitan vocal spice, ensuring that each album keeps the air of mystery that they have circulating.

This single from new album, ‘How To Do Battle’ encapsulates all of the adventurousness, alternative craft and canny arrangements to maintain Senser’s status as a true alternative act.
