Hold onto your hats, folks, because the German sensation 2ND FACE is back and ready to blow your mind! After their debut album “Nemesis” rocked the scene in 2017, expectations were sky-high for their sophomore release. Well, brace yourselves because mastermind Vincent Uhlig has not only met those expectations but surpassed them with his mind-blowing album “utOpium.”
This sound magician, who also happens to be a certified audio engineering genius, has created a masterpiece that’s not just ear candy for audiophiles, but also a showcase of exceptional songwriting and lyrical depth. “utOpium” is transparent, detailed, aggressive, and powerful—a perfect fit for the industrial genre that 2ND FACE dominates. Uhlig has poured five years of blood, sweat, and tears into this beast of an album, paying homage to the industrial scene’s history while carving his own unique path.
Lyrically, “utOpium” takes you on a journey deep into the human mind, exploring self-awareness and reflecting society’s fragmented state. In a world hypnotized by (social) media and ignoring climate change and war, 2ND FACE holds up a subtle mirror to wake us all up.
Formed by Vincent Uhlig in the captivating city of Mainz, Germany, in 2014, 2ND FACE quickly caught the industry’s attention with a string of demos and their self-released single “First of His Name.” Their 2017 debut album “Nemesis” was hailed as the “newcomer of the year,” impressing critics and fans alike. The EP “Nihilum” solidified their rising star status in the industrial sky.
“utOpium” is not just a leap in quality—it’s a quantum jump that will set the benchmark for the industrial genre for years to come. So, gear up, put on your headphones, and crank up those speakers because “utOpium” is about to detonate in your ears!
