"Cut the Line is the latest EP by producer Dead Battery on Kannibalen Records. The young Austrian has been on a tear lately, releasing original tracks and remixes at a breakneck pace over the course of 2013. With Cut the Line, he keeps his foot firmly on the pedal, churning out three new originals that should cement his place as a name to watch in the world of electronic music. The title track of the EP is a massive dubstep anthem in the style that Dead Battery has perfected: uplifting synth buildups, soaring vocals by the talented Lea Santee and vicious bass lines, all held neatly together by a keen sense of melody. For Lost I and Lost II, Dead Battery has teamed up with fellow Kannibalen producer Dabin. The two have remixed each other several times with great results, and their first official collaboration is no different. Lost I is an epic track that pulls musical cues from everything from deep dubstep to classic house; the melody is reworked into a chilled-out electronica version in Lost II. The EP also features two remixes of Cut the Line by a pair of promising Austrian dance acts. Naked Fishs take is solid, dancefloor-friendly electro house. Newcomer Nemea, for his first ever release, pops out a punishing drum n bass version perfect for early morning warehouse raves."

Dead Battery - Bloodfire Rudeboy (Original Mix)

Pre-order my new album here: http://bit.ly/DeadBatteryRecovery

Enter into the void with a rugged, but chill dive into the bereft blackness. Bewildering pads and a tepid organ welcome you into the mystifying beginnings of what some might call a miracle. For now, it's just a mysterious world.

Nothing Lasts opens with an insistent introduction. A sort of stage is angelically set by way of anticipation, as though one is in a waiting room, ready for the next step. This dreamlike sequence picks up once the percussion kicks in, and the shakers and keys pull the listener along a presumed path. Vocals patch up the second half of the song as the journey unravels.

Opening with a vocal sample expressing its name, "Leaving The Light" is the concretion of the aphotic experience. It's a slightly upbeat descension further into the abstract reality. The closing segment summarizes the solidification of the shadow upon Dead Battery; a more complete darkness is now achieved.


Leaving The Light

A tranquil, yet haunting place is birthed with "Vanished World." A breathy atmosphere is built, with percussion subtly entering into the space in due time. A female voice of the subconscious speaks through the musical web as things progress into a state of full immersion, where a resilient guitar takes over until being detuned out of existence. That is... until its resiliency fights off against the darkness of death.

Live Alone starts off the chapter with a resounding shout. Dead Battery’s mind jolts with spasms of energy as he becomes conscious of his mental prison. The struggle is exemplified by exertive synths and heart pounding percussion. Things take a turn towards eerie when a final battle frontier is set by booming horn-like synths for the last third of this shorter piece.

Once one realizes they live alone, they then realize they “Die Alone.” Obscured vocals are weaved together, as though the mind is putting its thoughts back into order. Although it has a dreary sound, there’s a certain level of inspiration that radiates from this partner piece.

Living Ghosts picks up the pace and mood with poised synths and ethereal vocals. The song is divided between a soft, introspective soundscape, and a roaring march chorus section. With the soul beginning to come alive, this where Dead Battery turns things around to face a new ascension.

“The Furry Stranger” is the embodiment of a newfound energy. This helping hand is leading Dead Battery, but to what? After a minute of setting a fresh, mellow tone of a thankful sadness, a bustling drum beat comes in to set things in motion. Soon the figurative steps are augmented by epic horns as the ascension begins. It shall have its hurdles along the way, but with “The Furry Stranger,” there’s a palpable hope in the air.

“Floating” begins like a warm blanket of sound. A thankful Tobias has awoken to friends, family, and even strangers that are lending their support to his recovery. He has his own strength, but he is not in this by himself now. When one is ready to live alone, one can truly bask in the company of others. This light-hearted composition is indicative of an authentic optimism being solidified.

The “Journey Abroad” is an exercise of the imagination. Tobias has just regained control of his traumatized brain, and now he is erupting with emotions. There’s so much to be said, there’s so much to be done; he delivers a few those expressions in one complete package here. Despite being constricted in a physical space, he has his way of moving around, in his mind.

The “City by The River” is a vantage point. Now that Dead Battery has risen from the hospital bed, and subsequently walked out on his own two feet, he is at a point of introspection. What is taking place is both the reflection of the past, and the rumination of the future.

With powerful original lyrics, “Stay” is one of the most moving works on the album. His will to live and stay in this world is manifest in this alluring tale. In going through the accident, a chance to start again opened its door. Life is about choice, and Tobias has chosen to live. His positive energy continues to build with this vocal hymn.

No matter how much positive momentum is behind someone, doubts are inevitable. “Sustain The Illusion” is the brave face of a changed man facing the outside world with a veiled sense of fear. A multitude of instruments including guitar, chimes, keys and pads convey this image that subsides with static. Is it the doubt that is diminishing, or Tobias himself?

“F” kicks off with strong chords and a celestial voice. It’s a lasting song that takes its time to develop. Dead Battery understands the accident has changed him, and lifelong consequences shall be had. His outlook on life has also changed, which led him down the recovery path much faster than anticipated; however he knows there’s more challenges to face. The rest of his life never felt so real, and he’s ready for it.

Dead Battery is ready for the world like never before. “Wake Up” is the confidently playful outro that brings this story to a close. It’s the scene in the movie where the man walks into the sunset, ready for whatever life throws at him, right before the credits roll. It’s a musical epiphany that crescendos into a  climax that simply sinks away.
