We have joined forces with some former allies of ours that have redesigned the band once known as FORCED, into the new REIN-FORCED power! Expect a very original and fresh blend of dark/harsh electro-industrial and EBM, d'n'b flavorings in the rhythms, and a dual vocal attack of harsh intensity!They totally pick up where FORCED left off a few years ago..

Perfect music for the Club floors and very anthemic and catchy tracks also which tell it like it is! Lyrics with a venomous bite! Another aggressive industrial assault from DSBP! They have some wicked arrangements which show lots of experience and fine programming which is nice to hear these days...key tracks include "waster", "hiatus","commitment suicide", "cyn-dicated", "boiling point", "poseur" and more! This one will pummel you hard and leave you on the floor convulsing and craving for more! Fans of FORCED, RUN LEVEL ZERO, FUNKER VOGT, and ICON OF COIL will dig this great new release!

Since the disintegration of the band Forced in 2003, original member Jim Semonik, also known as long time Pittsburgher DJ HIEM, decided to reconstruct the band. Rein[Forced] is the evolution of the original aesthetic set forth by Forced. After three years they are proud to present the new album, Futile Longings of a Condescending Man. Featuring pummeling old school electro industrial beats, mixed with new school terror EBM and a pinch of drum n bass, the album follows a man dealing with issues of escapism, suicide, betrayal and trust. Much more introspective than the previous record, Rein[Forced] bring new life to a stagnating electro scene with a much needed sense of originality. The record features the mastering talents of Mika Goedrijk (This Morn Omina/ Nebula H/Powder Pussy) and guest vocals by Cory McRae and Dagny Neel. Includes the club hits "Waster," "Hiatus," and "Cyn-dicated." Proudly released on DSBP Records.

We have the new FORCED album out now,and it is gonna be one helluva ride for all hardcore electro -industrial fans! this excellent debut album from the Pittsburgh industrial stompers,is full of AGGRESSIVE/DANCE FLOOR MAD- elektro-industrial,with no limitations or holding back on power at all. Its harsh,angry,and decisive in the attack!

14 tracks /over 60 minutes of music included,and a nice mix of dual vocalists with somewhat different styles that work well together...precise and interesting programming, phatty synthlines with lots of ear candy. definately aimed towards the dance floor,yet without taking any kind of future pop,or cloned stylings... FORCED move on with their own sound, which may be reminiscent of other dark industrial masters, but very original in the presentation. A full on aural assault that will make you listen over and over.

contains new versions of tracks found on STATIC LANDSCAPES, and FUTRONIK STRCTURES VOL.3 compilations put out by DSBP/OPTIKON RECORDS. the album contains remixes by... DIVERJE, VX, CONTROL.ORG, and C2!! the album is also another coollaboration between DSBP and OPTIKON REKORDS for maximum power to conquer the world!
