CoC : Serca - Singularity : Review

Serca - _Singularity_
by: Adrian Bromley (2 out of 5)

With Serca citing such influences as Nine Inch Nails, Pitchshifter and Deftones, it had piqued my interest when I finally decided to tackle this six-song demo from the British act. The band's tranquil, electronic feel is interesting, but not really memorable, and nowhere as aggressive as I thought it might be. A lot of the songs sound the same, as if they are taken from the same skeletal song structure, just loosened up a bit and added into sound snippets, vocal arrangements and beats. I wish this album had been heavier, as it would have provided some of the songs with a definite crunch, especially my fave track "Reinvention". Maybe my hopes were too high for this band after seeing their influences, but at least the band got my attention for a short period of time. Add a little more spark to the sound and get back to me.
