This project has its own sound from the groaning, pain filled vocals to the heavy rhythmic guitars blending well with the synths; Porn has concocted a nice combination with this sound. From the Void to the Infinite has a lot going for it, though it is very standard and may not move any new listeners toward the band or the genre. It will, however, make a nice play for fans and those who like to occupy the darkest night clubs as the drums and bass lines here make for excellent dance floor tracks and most are sure to get anyone moving and stepping along. ItÆs easy to hear PornÆs influences such as The Cure and Nine Inch Nails throughout the album while not sounding too much like either as to avoid being considered rip off artist as well. From the Void to the Infinite begins with the dark and ambient sound of ôI Died Twice,ö a song with excellent electronica sounds that combine with steady guitars and fantastic vocals to create a nice opening blend and mood setter for the entire album. Immediately following is ôNot with a Bang,ö where the vocals really shine along with the synths, sounding like early æ90s industrial û not too soft or too heavy, bouncing somewhere in the complete center. Standout track ôLove Like Warö will not only suck in listeners with its keys, but the drums and bass will get anyone up and dancing while you can almost feel the pain from the vocals shooting through you; a definite must hear from this album. Another notable song is ôWe Are Weapons (Shoot Your Headers)ö on which the guitars take over and the electronica takes a slight backseat, coming across as more rock than some of the other tracks. The same can be said of ôThe Machineries of Joy,ö which picks up the tempo quite nicely as well. Ending From the Void to the Infinite is the dark, tribal, almost ballad like ôNo Dominionö with its thumbing tribal drums and light guitars that lull and almost hypnotize the listener. Following it up as a bonus is a cover of The CureÆs ôLullaby X,ö a well done version in the same style as the other tracks on the album. Porn has a winner with From the Void to the Infinite. The electronica is well placed and well used, combing greatly with the guitars and the drums to make each track sound interesting and original. The vocals shine throughout with the groaning delivery that you might have come to expect from the genre, which is also the only true issue one could take with this project. PornÆs sound is nice and diverse, but it is nothing you havenÆt heard before. Despite that, fans of the genre or Porn itself should definitely give this album a listen. .:::: D2H CREW ::::.
