Review by Hamish Schreurs

PUNISHMENT WARD by REEKO is a hard-hitting techno album that delivers a relentless assault on the senses. The Spanish producer's third studio album is a masterclass in dark, brooding techno that is sure to please fans of the genre.

The album opens with the atmospheric "Empire of the Gods," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, REEKO delivers a series of punishing tracks that are characterized by their deep basslines, pounding drums, and ominous synths. Tracks like "The Woman in the Window" and "The Gravedigger and His Bitch" are especially effective at creating a sense of tension and unease.

Throughout the album, REEKO demonstrates his skill as a producer, using subtle changes in rhythm and texture to keep things interesting. The album's standout track, "Dead Animal," is a perfect example of this, with its shifting beats and eerie vocal samples.

Summary by Hamish Schreurs

PUNISHMENT WARD is a strong album that showcases REEKO's talent as a techno producer. Fans of dark, industrial techno will find plenty to like here, and the album is sure to be a hit on dancefloors around the world.
