Alright, let’s dive into Number Of The Beast by Eric Sneo. Released in 2015 on Transmit Records, this UK-born techno beast stomps its way through your speakers with a raw energy that just doesn’t quit. It’s not trying to be fancy or over-the-top—it’s straight-up, gritty techno vibes for the underground heads.
The album kicks off with the original track, "Number Of The Beast." Right outta the gate, it grabs you by the collar and pulls you into this dark, pulsating world. The beat hits hard, like a heartbeat you can’t ignore, and there’s this hypnotic groove running underneath that feels almost dangerous. Like, you know those moments at 3 AM when the club’s down to the die-hards? This is THAT track—the one that makes you forget where you are and just lose yourself in the rhythm. Honestly, it’s impossible to shake off once it gets under your skin.
Then there’s “Number Of The Beast (ANNA Remix).” Oh man, this one slaps differently. ANNA takes Eric Sneo’s raw skeleton and builds something sleeker but still ferocious. There’s this tension she adds—like pulling back a rubber band till it’s about to snap. When the drop finally comes, it’s pure chaos in the best way possible. Every time I hear it, I get goosebumps. You can tell she respects the original but flips it into her own monster. It’s one of those remixes that makes you wonder how anyone could improve on perfection—but damn, she does.
Now, here’s the thing: this isn’t an album full of surprises or wild experimentation. It’s more like Eric Sneo said, “I’m gonna make you feel THIS,” and stuck to his guns. And honestly? That’s what makes it so good. No fluff, no filler—just six tracks designed to hit hard and stay with you long after the night ends.
As I was writing this, I realized something kinda funny. For an album called Number Of The Beast, it doesn’t scream “evil” or “darkness” in some cliché way. Instead, it’s almost... primal. Like it taps into something deeper than spooky themes. Maybe that’s why it sticks with me. Or maybe it’s because I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve replayed these two tracks. Either way, if you’re into techno that punches you right in the soul, this one’s essential listening. Just don’t blame me if you start hearing echoes of it in your dreams.
