Aggrotech and metallic industrial are alive and screaming, as proven by Protokoll 19. Hailing from Tampa, FL, the duo consisting of Jayson "Fiend" Smith and Travis Lee bring pure aggression and stomp-worthy beats to the table with their new single "Clairvoyance". The track starts with pulsing keys and electronics before kicking into high gear as the bass pounds and throbs. The beat is steady in its assault, and does not relent through the track. Meanwhile, Jayson's vocal attack takes the song into territories or pure aural aggression; territories frequented by bands like Psyclon 9, Carrion, and Pill Brigade. Shrill highs and harsh whispers are met with growling low vocals that touch on death metal influences, without going completely overboard. "Clairvoyance" is a masterful blend of influences, from new to old, and is equally met with both aggression and elegance. This single is a must listen for those who enjoy the rougher side of industrial/electro.
