Metropolis Records

Whaààt...this fine New York based SynthPunk quartet has been around for over 15 years, and this is the first time I heard of 'em? Well now, high time we got acquainted!

Based in Milano, Army Of The Universe is an Italian Industrial Dance act which formed in 2008 when Trance and Techno producer Trebla (real name Albert Candiani aka Albert Vorne, plays the – analog – keyboards and does the extra programming in AotU) met up with singer Lord Kalidon of Kult Of The Skull God fame.

When I first listened to this album at the occasion of downloading it to my mp3-player, I could not help myself from thinking how great this band would've done in the British Goa Trance scene of the mid-'90s. Little did I know that I was to find out that the band in fact had a leading role in the genre! And damn me for not knowing the band better, because it grew to global repute thanks to composing the musical score for the movie The Matrix!
