Find yourself a quiet room, or ideally put on the headphones. Lower the lights or close your eyes. Give yourself to this album, and you’ll go on a journey. I wasn’t expecting MELT MOTIF, and I certainly wasn’t expecting A White Horse Will Take You Home, but I’m going to go along for this ride again and again. (5/6)
Rebel Extravaganza

It takes take and patience to absorb and digest every nuance and layer of this cleverly constructed piece of evocative art, but those of you with an open mind will be richly rewarded and it is a terrific ride through compelling electronic landscapes. (5/6)
Eternal terror

The heavier moments bring in Rammstein with a little bit of Nine Inch Nails, while the soft and ethereal melodies reminded me of everything from Collide and Portishead to Goldfrapp, and that proves to be quite the enticing combination.
Metal Trenches

They make some very distinct and inviting pop sounds that embrace countless influences and never stay in one place very long.
Take Effect

If you’re still waiting for a new Portishead album and are hoping that Beth Gibbons & Co will continue in the vein of We Carry On and Machine Gun, this album will be heartfelt appreciated. (11/15)
Betreutes Proggen

Extremely interesting for the adventurous music lover.
Prog Wereld

The nine-track/37-minute LP oozes sex across its span.
The Obelisk

‘A White Horse Will Take You Home’ has a place among the best albums of 2022.
Kollektiva

The 9-track release offers quite a diverse pallet, from dreamy and cinematic to aggressive and industrial. Unpredictable is the best label you can put on this excellent new discovery.
Side-Line

Sometimes it is necessary to break the mould and this ticks those boxes with nine tracks of adventures into the unknown.
The Progressive Aspect

Melt Motif mix industrial with cinematic sounds, hard rhythms, electro pop and Rakel’s gentle vocals. An unusual mixture that you should try.
Musik Zirkus Magazin

Exciting and innovative debut album.
Audiophile

Everything Will Disappear

I had a dream, I had a dream
I was captured in a painters scene
The ruins of philosophers
Was a playground for innocence

Deathlike silence
Everything will disappear
Fades out, dies out
Everything will disappear

I woke up, still in a dream
A man destroying Michelangelo
The shadows of the history
Disappeared with his deed

Deathlike silence
Everything will disappear
Fades out, dies out
Everything will disappear

Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything

I had a dream, I had a dream
I was captured in a painters scene
I saw my shadow in a frame
I ended it in a cave

Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything

Black Hole

His favorite band
A bad review
Others opinion makes him reach for the keys

Please release me
Black Hole

Loathing the unknown
A raging mind
Lonely and left behind he’s spitting on the keys

Please release me
Black Hole

A different sex
A different color
He enters night mode and he’s defecating on the keys

Please release me

Blood

Biomorhic
Electric high
Setting sun
Shadows on, on my mind
Fading out
Enter blind
No remorse
Image of, erase it off

Blood
Blood on the horizon
Blood
Death is on! Death is on!
Death is on! Death is on!

Incoming fire
Sudden death
Bring on darkness
Shine on me, make my day
Wipes are on
Painting red
Drying black
Happy end, happy end

Blood
Blood on the horizon
Blood
Death is on! Death is on!
Death is on! Death is on!

Magnificent
Violence
End of game
In my hands
Magnificent

Death is on! Death is on!
Blood on the horizon
Death is on! Death is on!

The City

O scrape out your bones and sing out your song
For the shit that you dig up
The shit that went wrong
Set sail for the future and don't be lookin' back
When your nervous system
is under attack

Don't settle down
Don't wait around
Cause you don't know what you find there
In the city
Don't be lookin' back

Today we were walkin'
Then we were drivin'
You said let's go out
Up to the limestone
Bar on the corner
Fight in the street
And the fog-horn-ing silence after the deed

Don’t settle down
Don't wait around
Cause you don't know what you find there
In the city
Don't fall asleep
Or you'll be sure to weep your life away
Down there
In the city

All your dreams are like paper in the fire
Remember the beginning when you wanted to fly
Over the sun
Over the skyscrapers high
You were born for more than this

O scrape out your bones and sing out your song
For the shit that you dig up
The shit that went wrong
Set sail for the future and don't be lookin' back
When your nervous system is under attack

Don’t settle down
Don't wait around
Cause you don't know what you find there
In the city
Don't fall asleep
Or you'll be sure to weep your life away
Down there
In the city
Fight in the street

Don't be late now
I won't wait now
Don't be late no
City City City City
Don't be late now
I won't wait now
Don't be late no
City City City City
Don't be late now
I won't wait now
Don't be late no

Not What They Seem

They are smiling
When you’re talking
They don’t listen
They understand

Who are these guys
They are not what they seem

They know how to
Help you out
They know how to
To make you pay

They are sent to pick you up
You are there to be their prey

Who are these guys
They are not what they seem
You look at them
With devil eyes
You are silent
They have lost, this time

Random Access Memory

Red, green and blue
Color me white
Spectrum reflecting
In rabbit size eyes
They talk about me but I can’t recognize
Slo-mo inverted

Corrupted

They captured
My very best friends
When they returned I knew for sure
They were not the same
