Infravision - This Epileptic Serenity (2008)

Infravision hail from Greece and fuse industrial with death/thrash metal, utilizing keyboards heavily and adding a large dollop of techno. They use mostly grunted vocals, but occasionally switch to clean vocals (which are not very good). This yields a somewhat unfocused sound -- they switch back and forth between heavy and cheesy. They haven't yet mastered the art of blending the two styles into a seamless package. That said, they do have significant technical skill -- when they choose to show it -- and they do have some potential. I'm not sure that I'll ever like the mixing of techno with death metal, but this is at least somewhat original.

Their MySpace page has three songs from this album.
