The Italian industrial duo Digitalis Purpurea has been around since 2000 already. This year they got signed with Aural Music/Dreamcell11 to release their debut full length record entitled Aseptic White. Let’s see what this industrial electro metal act has to offer.

 

If there is one source of inspiration written all over Aseptic White, it has to be Marilyn Manson. The catchy industrial electro beats don’t necessarily imply this, but it are mainly the vocals that make me think of Marilyn Manson. Mister Pi Greco uses the same vocal lines and sounds as him, he approaches his actual sound very closely. And honestly I have to say that I sort of like his record better than the last couple of Marilyn Manson records anyway. It’s more raw produced and has a more sincere sound to it.

 

Aseptic White proves to be a very entertaining listen for all those interested in Marilyn Manson and other danceable industrial electro metal. A funny extra is a cover version of Nelly Furtado’s ‘Maneater’, featuring Tying Tiffany. If these guys get a hold of better (studio) equipment and a good promotional budget this could get huge fast. Only time can tell. If you’re looking for a record filled with catchy industrial beats to dance to, make sure to check out Digitalis Purpurea.
