Flood – Romeo

Flood's new release on "Kein Rauch Ohne Feuer" provides a sinister soundtrack to Romeo's descent into darkness. Like on his preceding record "Still Want You" Flood makes use of a sound palette inspired by Italo Body Music including heavy drums, rough arpeggios and eery pads. Subtle, wavy vocal bits add to the structure and let both "Romeo" and "Sacrifice" grow into catchy yet functional club tracks. On the B-side, Greek producer Alpha Sect gives the title track a new spin and - while slowing down a bit - easily shakes the Capulets' crypt with his interpretation.
