CrowNick – New Sapiens

New Sapiens is the first major release from CrowNick (Gilad Arama), an Israeli psytrance producer with over a decade of experience as a drummer in various metal bands. After graduating from school as a sound technician in 2005, Gilad set to work on his debut album, simultaneously released on CD and as a free promotional download in July of 2007. CrowNick’s style is dark and dirty with a full-on drive accentuated by considerable influences from metal and industrial–a sound situated somewhere between that of Combustion-era Dark Soho, Megalopsy, and Paranoize. The menacing bulk of the album is aimed squarely at night-time dance floors, culminating in a tribute to the Israeli metal band SALEM, and capped with a chilled finale. Featuring mastering by Space Cat and a full set of high-resolution cover images, New Sapiens is a professional-quality release sure to appeal to those who like it dark and twisted.
