Première Guerre Mondiale is the latest album by Alien Skin, an Australian band known for its unique blend of synth-pop and darkwave. This album is a concept album that explores the themes of war and its impact on humanity.
The album opens with the haunting track "The Last War", which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song features eerie synths and a somber vocal performance by George Pappas, the mastermind behind Alien Skin. The next few tracks, "Battlescarred", "War is Coming", and "The Killing Fields", continue the theme of war and its destructive nature.
The album takes a different turn with "The Prisoner", a track that tells the story of a soldier who has been taken captive. The song features a slow, brooding melody that perfectly captures the feeling of being trapped and helpless. "The Suicide Club" is another standout track, with its pulsing synths and catchy chorus.
