Silent Servant – Negative Fascination (LP)

Silent Servant – Negative Fascination

Silent Servant’s 2012 debut album Negative Fascination marks a defining moment in modern industrial techno. Fresh from his work with Sandwell District and Tropic Of Cancer, Juan Mendez brings his signature fusion of minimalist techno, post-punk grit, and industrial electronics into sharp focus.

Recorded shortly after the Sandwell era closed, this album is both a reflection and reinvention—equal parts claustrophobic and cathartic. “Process (Introduction)” lays the groundwork with eerie drama, while cuts like “Invocation Of Lust” and “Moral Divide (Endless)” drive forward with pounding drums and dark energy. The closer, “Utopian Disaster (End),” ties it all together in a peak-time climax.

At once reverent and revolutionary, Negative Fascination channels the past to push the genre forward.
