Fear Of Domination started up in Finland back in 2006. Over the years, the squad has toured extensively across Europe, destroying stages alongside heavy hitters including Deathstars, Turmion Kätilöt, Velcra, Shade Empire, Hanzel And Gretyl, Amaranthe, and Pain. Now on their seventh full-length strike, the industrial metal crew unleashes "Katharsis" onto the scene through Inverse Records, bringing plenty of noise.

The dual vocal attack from Jessica Salmi and Saku Solin tears right through the speakers. They deliver vicious screams crashing against huge melodic choruses. Johannes Niemi and Jan-Erik Kari supply crunchy, driving riffs, keeping the metal fury upfront and hostile throughout the album. Lasse Raelahti programs massive synthesizer lines, adding serious electronic firepower. The rhythm section, featuring Lauri Ojanen on bass and Anton Nisonen on drums, keeps the groove firmly planted and merciless.

"Katharsis" brings a loud, aggressive party vibe straight to your ears. The audio quality is massive, ensuring the guitars and synthetic samples stay separated and deafening. You get massive hooks and pounding mechanical rhythms built for the mosh pit. "Alone" opens the album with pure aggression. The music crashes forward with relentless energy, demanding you snap your neck.

A few electronic sections drag slightly. Some vocal patterns come across as standard fare for the genre. Even with those minor flaws, the album keeps you entirely hooked. Industrial metal requires serious mechanical muscle, and Fear Of Domination provides plenty of synthetic power here. Turn the volume up, and let the chaos happen.

Score: 7.8
