Beside Myself treats club music as a site of tension rather than release. DJ Haram builds tracks from fractured rhythms, distortion, and industrial weight, pushing the music toward confrontation instead of groove. The album favors pressure and abrasion, using interruption and overload as structural tools. The production is dense and physical, maintaining a steady sense of urgency. While individual tracks often resist resolution, the record as a whole sustains its intensity, allowing fragmentation to accumulate rather than dissipate. The sound remains confrontational without slipping into irony or detachment. What elevates Beside Myself is its commitment to force. The album doesn’t seek immersion or narrative clarity, but it fully inhabits its abrasive stance. The result is a focused, punishing electronic record that succeeds through consistency and intent.

The record rarely pushes beyond its established framework, choosing reliability over exploration. Para Bellum succeeds as a demonstration of genre mastery. It delivers power and professionalism without pretense, but it stops short of creating tension or momentum that would elevate it beyond solid craftsmanship.

CONFLICT DLC distills HEALTH’s industrial language into a dense, confrontational form. The album leans hard into compression, distortion, and mechanical rhythm, creating a sound that prioritizes physical impact over narrative development. Each track operates within a narrow bandwidth, reinforcing a sustained sense of pressure rather than building toward release. The production is relentless and controlled, allowing little space for variation but maintaining a strong sense of cohesion. Rather than evolving, the music accumulates weight through repetition and texture. This approach gives the record a blunt force that remains effective across its runtime. What elevates CONFLICT DLC is its commitment. The album doesn’t attempt reinvention or expansion, but it fully inhabits its chosen intensity. The result is a focused and punishing release that succeeds through consistency and sheer density rather than progression. Genre : Industrial Metal Country : US Final Verdict: 65% (Good Album)...
