Gothic Paradise 5/5! Overall, Emileigh has out-done herself on this work. As pointed out in the press release for this album, she has written the music, the lyrics, recorded and produced the album all on her own. This is a feat for any musician and to have an album released of this caliber is incredible. I highly recommend it, so don't hesitate to pick it up!
Chain DLK 5 Stars!
Magnificent. Chiasm (aka Emileigh Rohn) has really done it here with her new cd masterpiece, "Relapse". Each track on the disc is worth listening to without skipping. Emileigh delivers another power punch album that's very emotional, simply wonderful, abroad, and catchy melodies, driving synths and samples.
Lust At Dusk Cyberzine 6/6!
Her musical structure is next to genius, packed with great inflections and elevation points, shackling the listener in a car upon the great roller coaster of divine sound. The melody, rhythm, sample timing, sound effects and music playing; all executed in perfection!
Liar Society It feels like an intensely personal expression.. songs like "Rewind" and "Chosen Fate" might just pack an industrial dance floor.
Legends Magazine
I really dig Relapse, for its modern make-up and bar-pushing creation. Rohn doesn't stick too close to convention and pushes on what synths can do, showing their qualities as much for melodic intonations as for rhythmic percussion.
Virus Mag
What I have also realized is that no matter how much time goes by, one music geek can spot another.
I knew Emileigh Rohn for one right away, and her website confirmed it. To her credit, she knows how to program the hell out of her synths, she can tickle the ivories very well, and her sampling ability is excellent.
Gothtronic
She’s using the piano a lot. The songs are electronic, but you can hear the emotions in the songs. There are a few electro(/industrial) songs on the disc, such as X-Ray and Phobic.
Metropolis
CHIASM (aka Emileigh Rohn) brings you a big helping of inner angst and turmoil on her second album, "Relapse". While there are plenty of talented women in the dark electro scene, there are still few who can take on the absolute control of an album and can do it so well.
German Reviews:
Terrorverlag
Vier Jahre hat sich CHIASM Zeit gelassen, um mit "Relapse" den Nachfolger ihres Debüts "Disorder" zu produzieren. Obwohl bei COP INTERNATIONAL erscheinen, lässt gleich schon der erste Track "Embryonic" erahnen, dass der geneigte Hörer hier ehr ruhigere Klänge zu erwarten hat, ist er doch ein sphärischer, emotionaler Track, mit zartem, beinahe verletzlichem Gesang.
Wer mal wieder Lust auf Electro fernab gängiger Klischees hat, ist mit "Relapse" gut bedient.

Mittlerweile tummeln sich ja genug Frauen in der Elektro Scene, aber werden meist eher als "Eyecandy" eingesetzt. Chiasm (aka Emileigh Rohn) liefert mit ihrem zweiten Longplayer "Relapse" ein Album ab, das sie in Eigenregie geschrieben , aufgenommen und produziert hat...
Elektrauma „Relapse“ ist das zweite Album der Sängerin, die ebenfalls versucht, eine Mischung aus treibenden Songs und düster-atmosphärischen Tracks zu gestalten und sich gesanglich der Stimmung anzupassen.

Die Mehrzahl der Stücke gefällt mir richtig gut, allerdings ohne, dass ich nun in Jubelschreie ausbrechen würde...
