Title - 'Dust To Come'
Artist - =fudge=

For those not in the know, =fudge=, the pioneers of the synth-metal polarize with their unique, provocative show. their modern fusion of synthetic and handmade music rounded off by a progressive stage performance.

Ergo, in their eyes, light and sound are a meant to be enjoyed as a total work of art you must see (and hear) to truly become one with their sound.

=fudge= was founded in December 2012 by Chris Techritz, Paul Curtis, Maximilian Amberger and Sebastian Michaelis. Just a few months later, in the summer of 2013, =fudge= won the Haix Band Contest, successfully competing against several other newcomer acts.

Following the release of their first EP Never Stop Firing (2014), =fudge= wrote the title song for the same-titled indie film “Bittersweet Revenge” in 2015.

With a new drummer (Jake Curtis) and bass player (Daniel Hauer), they have been composing new songs since 2016 and will release their debut full-length album, Dust To Come this coming October 16th, 2020 (via Fastball Records).

1. 'Silently'
2. 'Into the Whispers'
3. 'The Summoning'
4. 'GODS'
5. 'Mechanical Human'
6. 'I'm a Wolf'
7. 'Death To Man'
8. 'Dust To Come'
9. 'Thousand'
10. 'Reprise'
11. 'Confession'
12. 'For Those Who Live in Fear'
13. 'Dust To Come' (Part II)'
14. 'Bittersweet Revenge'

With the bands music strengths clearly upped since their EP debut, this new collection of highly versatile, at times playful, but all nonetheless straightforward and =fudge= centric, the band opens with the steely, building undertones of the just-under two minute instrumental 'Silently' which then breaks into the poundingly euphoric 'Into the Whispers,' the frenetic 'The Summoning,' and then comes, atop a brilliant bass guitar backdrop, the growled 'GODS.'

The melodic, even at times, foot-tappin' vibes of 'Mechanical Human' is up next and that's backed by the lower imbibed angst of the mid-tempo "ballad" 'I'm a Wolf,' with the child-like, rhythmic vocals of the :47 second 'Dust To Man' album break, which is then followed by the industrially mighty title track, 'Dust To Come.'

Next we get the impassioned fervor of 'Thousand' which is backed by a one minute orchestral instrumental ('Reprise'), before we're back on musical track with the drum-led 'Confession,' the hand-clapper 'For Those Who Live in Fear,' with the album closing on a spoken word, 10 minute opus in the form of 'Dust To Come' (Part II),' and then the 8 minute epic 'Bittersweet Revenge.'

As to content, =fudge= play with i. a. classic horror themes which lyrically fit in seamlessly with the musical framework.

The visual presentation of the band and band members as well as the realization of the video clip for the horror story song 'The Summoning' set an obvious direction.

Quite in line with this, the band produced a comic book limited to 1000 copies and numbered consecutively which will be offered as part of a special bonus package together with the album.
