APARTMENT 26
2000 - Hallucinating.
way more Helter Skelter.

May 16, 2000 - 2025: 25 years of: Hallucinating.

Millennium-metal.

Mathematically precise, high-gain guitars and explosive rhythms. Same old formula, yet now matched with digital-technology and street-edge grind, as this road ends in an aural massacre. Great Britain now responds to the American nümetal scene, walk this way and please enter the APARTMENT 26.

Through reverse-engineering, this loud industry cracks the fourth wall "Backwards". Ultra hyped, the crush of "Doing It Anyway" and the face-slasher of the title-track of "Hallucinating" paints a modern attacks on the senses.

The single for "Basic Breakdown" soiled the airwaves, while the metal-poundings of "Anymore" and adrenaline of "Apt. 26" provides new extremes. The sick sub-bass of primal-beats of "Death" kept the pulse into the danger-zone.

Ulrich Wild produced, this young band sounds both organic and cutting-edge, sharp and clinically defined. WHITE ZOMBIE, NINE INCH NAILS and KORN left a mark, and now, these fruits are fully bloomed to dangerous perfection. The future of hard-music or just another new alternative, only time will tell.

In the meantime, APARTMENT 26 and the young Biff Butler, son of Geezer, would present their next and final offering: 2004's groovier Music For The Massive CD.
