Descrizione
Dead Channel is an "Electronic Metal" band designed at the end of 2008 by poly instrumentalist Milo Silvestro. He refers to his band as Electronic Metal mostly because of the high amount of electronic music contamination by using synth sequences, samples, loops and effected vocals. This features coexist perfectly with heavy downtuned guitars and bass. They priviledge syncopated grooves in their rythmic spine, although they also leave some space for double-bass patterns and tight industrial beats. Lyrics are mostly about revolting against controlling authorities, mass approval, death of emotions and last but not least against monogamy and controlled religions. In their first offical self-titled album the lyrics tell a whole story song after song, wich makes it a "concept album". The story incorporates classical Dead Channel themes such as hatred for monogamy and religion and stimulating people to "think with their own minds" instead of being mind-influenced by society and authorities. The name Dead Channel has been chosen as a metaphor, where people are costantly receiving "working signals" in their brains by controlling entities, whereas according to the message of the band they should turn that signal off and be tuned on the "dead channel" in order to stop receiving false information and deleterious indoctrination, being freely able to formulate their own thoughts
