This is the last material what we received from Alkemist Fanatix Europe – the promotive agency which assembles the bands dabble in oneself the sharp alternative playing with the smaller or the larger rock-metal tinge.

It is similarly with FIGURE OF SIX coming from Italy obviously. The roots of the band comes up to hard core, although the album “Step One” spreads out the borders of tolerance for foreign sounds and under of influence considerable quantity of electronics in aspect of samples and loops as well as scratches or the parties of alive flute came into being this special post hard core/nu metal mixture.

The characteristic features of the band, go out on the first step are the very dynamic, sharp parties of the guitars connected with the shouting though the melodious singing and the considerable quantity of electronic additions, what is supported by the rhythmical low tuned bass and the powerful knocks of the varied drums. The second step of the band is created by the climatically phrases built with dark-industrial-psychedelic samples, loops, keys, hip-hop scratches, the gentle pulsating bass, the melancholy (outright balladic) nu metal's vocals or the gentle parties of the flute.

FIGURE OF SIX is the excellent connection hard core/nu metal's energy with the electronic industrial psychedelic sounds and the dark melancholy.
