About Electro Synthetic Rebellion

After several groups or solo experiences in the past, Vincent PUJOL (aka Vince, 34) created his new solo project "Electro Synthetic Rebellion" in 1997. In the early years (80's), bands such as FLA, Skinny Puppy, F242 or Klinik were an influence on Vince's compositions. Vince worked during two years in order to create his own musical atmosphere and reach his goal, leading to a first demo unreleased album called "Re-Birth" (1999). E.S.R is definitely a Dark Electro/E.B.M project with its own style blending dark synthetic melodies with powerful rhythms, metallic percussions, and distorted vocals. Vince exclusively works with samplers, synthesizers and other electronic machinery in order to bring to his music this exquisite synthetic touch. He likes to put toghether "deep" synthetic textures through melodies and basses, and powerful drum sounds, the roots of his inspiration. "I always try to explore new dark atmospheres, melodies are very important for me, I believe you can express all kinds of emotions and feelings through music and above all, you put a little bit of your soul in each track and that's really exciting". Most of the songs deal with futuristic nightmarish visions of tomorrow's world or reflections about the world we live in, expressing E.S.R's state of mind. Through music and texts, E.S.R exposes any form of violence, repression, torture (physical or mental pain), mental manipulation, submission, conspiracy of silence, and political hypocrisy, the main topics Vince wants to fight against. Anyway, E.S.R doesn't want to be linked to any political wing and wants to keep its own freedom of speech.
