Belgian industrial band, SUPER DRAGON PUNCH!! has announced the release of their new & highly-anticipated full-length album, Thorns.
This record features 10 new memorable powerful tracks that are a combination of faster club-oriented harsh Industrial and Futurepop, reminiscent of SDP!!’s intense punk energetic live shows, as well as haunting dark ballads.
Expect SDP!!’s unique mix of catchy melodies, pumping synths, stomping beats, glitchy effects, blended with retro gaming sounds.
The aggressive and melodic emotional vocals sing honest deep introspective lyrics about despair, hatred, and pain.
The songs are mainly about being lost in one's desperate tortured and destructive thoughts, about past and present demons, about being afraid of getting hurt by others or losing them or relationship difficulties and fights. It's called Thorns because there's some kind of pain associated to everything that is beautiful and nice in life.
Guest vocals on the hard and dismal ballad “Scar” are provided by talented Dutch vocalist Lis van den Akker.
It is released in a limited edition digipack, reinforced by remixes by ESA, Dulce Liquido, SITD, Soman and Modulate remixing “Split”, “Haste” and “Rise” in their own particular styles.

“super dragon punch really has the potential of muscling its way to the top if ‘shatter’ is an indication of what jérémie is capable of. i think he has a handle on what needs to go into making compelling ebm, and if sdp can keep on cranking out great tracks like this, it will be unstoppable.”
“This EP reveals an interesting approach in electronic underground music. It’s the kind of sound that will not appeal for one specific audience and that might be the strength of Super Dragon Punch!!”
“Super Dragon Punch!!, then, is off to a great start in their career with “Feral”. Their crunchy industrial dance beats shine brightest when mixed with their 8bit influences. I would like to see a lot more of that combination; it’s what makes Super Dragon Punch!! Stand apart from other dark dance albums within the scene.”

“The band gave an excellent show. We didn’t know what exactly to expect from this fairly new band, but their performance was brilliant and the frontman really knew how to animate the crowd. This industrial-ebm-synth pop act certainly managed to catch our interest, so we will pay attention to them in future. They certainly gave us some positive energy.”
“SUPER DRAGON PUNCH!! aus Belgien ist Jérémie und Jérémie ist überschäumende Lebendigkeit. Gegen seinen Elektro der härteren Gangart, den er selbst als Synthpunk mit Industrialeinflüssen bezeichnet, fällt es schwer, sich zu wehren. Man zuckt unweigerlich mit. Ruhigere Momente gibt es auf der Bühne nur, wenn Jérémie auf dem Rücken liegend performt. Ansonsten wird getobt und gesprungen.”
“Stilstaan bij hun uitstekende electro/Industrial hoort er niet bij! Jérémie Venganza is bovendien een uitstekende volksmenner die haast geen seconde stilstaat en keihard werkt opdat iedereen uit de bol gaat! Er is ook een uitstekende bassist die zorgt voor een harder geluid. Daarnaast is er nog een aanstelijke dame die voor de beats, beeps en bleeps en zowat alles wat ze uit een synth kan halen slaat. Het feestje kan niet stuk en ik heb wat spijt dat ik niet meer van hun nummers ken. Niet alleen dit trio heeft genoten (en toont héél wat dankbaarheid): ook het publiek en de mensen die hen voor het eerst aan het werk hebben gezien hebben genoten! Best cool en dus zeg ik: op naar hun volgende optreden!”
