Today's Sound

"RISE (Ring The Bells)" by Asylum Promises is a dark and invigorating ride through acid, industrial, and techno territories.

Asylum Promises is the experimental project created by Manos Karakatsanis in order to explore in different paths and use sounds and patterns quite different than his main project, The Man & His Failures. The new single, "RISE (Ring The Bells)" comes  with collaboration from Alekos Sorros and is a sound trip that spins through multiple techno subgenres, offering a powerful blend of hard, dark, and Detroit techno, merged with industrial elements. "RISE (Ring The Bells)" is the first single, taken from "Point Zero, One" the upcoming Asylum Promises album.

Hard, industrial elements pulse through "RISE (Ring The Bells)". The intensity in percussion is relentless, with a hammering kick drum setting the basis. The new Asylum Promises is straightforward, aggressive, and solid. As with much hard techno, the space between beats is filled with dense layers of sound, providing an amount of energy and strength. The mood of "RISE (Ring The Bells)" is undeniably dark and brooding. Manos Karakatsanis and Sorros invoke an atmosphere of shadowing tension, where every rhythmic synth and bass roar seems to bring something sinister. This is amplified by the occasional ghostly sound touches that highlights the industrial feel.

There’s an hidden reference to some Detroit techno tradition in the track's rhythmic structure. "RISE (Ring The Bells)" retains that futuristic, machine-driven vibe of techno elevating the Detroit influence into something more darkly. The industrial influence comes through both in the sound and the structure, operating in a way that feels raw, with an almost chaotic energy.

Overall, "RISE (Ring The Bells)" combines aggressive techno forms with darker, more experimental sound design, blending genres like hard, dark, industrial techno in a powerful way. It's one of those made for a high-energy, late-night setting, where listeners are ready to lose themselves in the dynamic rhythm. If you’re into industrial and hard techno with an experimental edge, this one is definitely one to check out.
