This kind of propositions intrigue me a lot: the Spanish A·L·M·A is a combination of industrial metal with spoken word with a clear message. The Asturiano Pedro Pablo Bazán's project showed its debuting album called ("Totalitarian Winter").
The musician claims there's been nothing like this before. There's still some clear inspirations that can be pointed out, especially the industrial music. Not to mention that the material was mixed by the legendary Einstürzende Neubauten's Alexander Hacke. On the other hand, there's also present a spirit of the protest songs from the past with suggestive lyrics that are sometimes spoken, sometimes even shouted out, "the musical pieces seem designed as if they were manifests of anger towards alienation, but to a type of everyday mastery and control, and therefore constant".
Bazán's interview with Agente Provocador is really filled with interesting statements. For example on the album's main theme "the central object is the wartenberg wheel, an instrument used in neurology to check nerve reflexes or physiological sensitivity to stimuli, that is, we try, with this album, to check the listener's point of identification with reality".
