“This debut EP is a nice first try, and they definitely have the potential to become a major act in their genre’ – Industrialmetal.tk.” Look mommy, the Latexxx Teens misspelled my website while they were quoting out of my review of their debut EP in the package I just recieved! But don’t worry mommy, I am not going to cry. Because, the Latexxx Teens also gave me their new release to review! Yay! ... Ok, I know I am a bad actor. Lets become serious now. The new EP, Moloko & Ultra-Violence, exists of six brand new tracks. Their biography was filled with weird descriptions, but I managed to find a good quote inbetween the vague ones: ‘New stuff is colder, harder, faster and darker than the first work’. Sounds pretty promising indeed! Do they still have the potential, or have they become a major act in their genre already? Read the following review, and within two minutes you will have the answer!

Well people, the Teens were right. This new EP is definitely colder, harder, faster and darker than the debut EP. In one word: more mature. The production (done by Victor Love – Dope Stars Inc’s vocalist) is more than excellent and the cover art (done by Grace Khold – Dope Stars Inc’s synth player) looks marvellous. But, what I find a little bit a bummer is the fact that the Dope Stars Inc influences are clearly hearable in their music too. LXT still have an own style, but I strongly hope that they will keep it this way and not become any Dope Stars Inc clone. Anyway, fortunately they are not a clone at this moment, so lets have a few words about the tracks. ‘Genesis of Te(chn)ocrazy’ blasts on strong sampling, heavy guitars and a catchy chorus. It was an excellent choice to pick this track as an opener, because it wakes you up and sucks you into the LXT world in no time! ‘Millenium Nightmare (United Shit Of America)’ sounds like a political song, but I cannot have a look at the lyrics to be sure unfortunately. Their post-punk influences are clearly coming back in this song, but they centrifugated it through a modern attitude. The result is an easy listening, little bit danceable track that might be a positive surprise for Marilyn Manson fans. ‘Maschine Zeit’ reminds me like Dope Stars Inc’s ‘Infection 13’ when it kicks off, but what follows is some powerful and heavy industrial metal track. While the synts seem made for trance, the guitars seem made for metal and this combination seems explosive together with the great vocals of Alex Love Dolls. Dance your ass off on this track, because ‘(S)aint (R)evolution’ is a song of the different kind. Forget the bouncing beats and say hello to a more sensitive side of the band. A perfect song for the vocalist to express his talents on, and the heavy guitars make this song an excellent sensitive song. ‘Viral Sublimination’ brings you back to the danceable side, although this song turns out to be more easy listening than danceable. A closer look at the track brings up the EBM influences and the punk influences in both the music as the vocal performance. ‘Requiem For A Dream’ is one of the shortest songs of this EP, and also one of the more catchy ones. There is some great atmospheric sampling on this track, and... heavy guitars again! This is probably the major thing that causes an erection over here, because the trend is to turn the guitars lower and lower (Dope Stars Inc, Deathstars...) but LTX decided to pump up the guitar volume all over the record! And not to forget, all tracks are extremely well build! As I mentioned before, this band took a big step forward with this new release, but they have to be on their guard to not become a clone of their friends. If they are on their guard well enough, I dare to say that these guys are ready to conquer the world with their own wicked style which might become very popular. If you want to know if you can agree with me, go order your copy of this on the official site! Will take you longer than the two minutes it took you reading this review though, because this EP gives you over 25 minutes material!
