Darkwave/goth/rock – AUSTRIA

HACKMONOCUT..CDCoverHackmonocut is enigmatic person, whose career as a solo artist, started out in 2012 year. He is a songwriter, and his first discographical step was album “In The Land Of Basement Hobby Rooms”, released as a variant of homerecording. Album followed by the video to the song “Virgin Suicide Bomber”, visualizing one of the darkest tracks of the album in November 2013.

During the August of this 2015 year, Austrian artist released second, still actual album, entitled “The Sum Of My Parts”.

Hackmonocut with minimal band following behind, combine elements of darkwave and gothic, with rock and electro includings as well. Important part of his views are lyrics, deeply emotional and eclectic. He has something of Morrison/Cave methods of vocalization, and songs possess similar dinamization and atmosphere, part monotonous, part dreamy, but with clear and authentic signature. Even of mentioned so call darker atmosphere, album of Austrian artist is melodic and listenable too. I will also mention, that complete technical details satisfies as well.

Hackmonocut is a person whose musical message deserve attention and recommendation.


Karijera vrlo intersantnog austrijskog umetnika koji se odaziva imenom Hackmonocut, krenula je pomalo stidljivo 2012-e godine. Kao rezultat komponovanog materijala snimljen je album, kojeg objavljuje sledeće 2013-e, naziva “In The Land Of Basement Hobby Rooms”, a čije promotivne aktivnosti je pratio urađen video klip za song “Virgin Suicide Bomber”.

Augusta ove, 2015-e godine izlazi mu drugi po redu album – “The Sum Of My Parts”, koji je realizovan sa minimalnom ulogom pratećeg benda.

U muzičkom smislu austrijanac kombinuje elemente darkwave-a i gothic žanra, sa rock i electro elementima. Sve to zajedno je na neki način u “senci” tekstualne poruke, koja je emotivna i eklektična.

Način njegovog vokaliziranja u određenoj meri asocira na Morrisonov/Caveov metod interpretacije, a sama pevačka matrica je povremeno monotona, povremeno sanjiva, ali songovi su vrlo melodični i slušljivi. Sama muzika Hackmonocuta apsorbuje puno od tkzv. 80’s atmosfere, i određena poređenja sa ranim Mission/Sisters Of Mercy, kao i prvim snimcima Culta, nameću se kao logična.

Ipak, austrijski umetnik je kroz vlastiti način tretiranja izražajne forme uspeo da nađe neki svoj put, a on ga izdvaja kao autora koji ima šta da kaže i ponudi. Dodao bih još, da tehnički elementi koji prate album u potpunosti zadovoljavaju, i na Hackmonocuta kao artista vredi obratiti pažnju.
