A devilish, apocalyptic disco! -NINa, Fabryka Music Magazine
db9d9's sound is cold and hard, walking the thin line between standard dance electro and intense coldwave. They seem to rely heavily on gritty guitar chords, angry vocals and thick electronics to carry their sound across. It's almost as if they are creating pieces that could possibly generate some mainstream interest, yet they add in a dash of creativity which, unfortunately, will probably keep them out of the limelight. For those who are excited by the harder edged, guitar orientated electro, I suggest you check out db9d9. -industrialmusic.com
db9d9's greatest strength is their execution of this style, which shows some true songwriting talent and quite a bit of sophistication. Their material is catchy, upbeat and energetic and reminds me of all the reasons why this style of industrial was so popular in the early 1990s. -Corridor of Cellsextreme / dark music webzine
If sissy dance beats and fake German accents get you hard, look elsewhere. db9d9 is a must have for your Caselogic. -Skippy Longstocking, Outburn magazine
Just because it's angry doesn't mean db9d9 can't make danceable music. They know how to make alienation more fun than a Morrissey concert. -Nina Garin, San Diego Union Tribune

Details
The debut album "db9d9" was released to critical acclaim and won a Just Plain Folks award for best industrial album in 2000. The Whisky in Los Angeles was among the many venues db9d9 played during this period as well as arena support slots for Metallica and Mötley Crüe.
The second CD was released in 2004. Something to Cry About was created as an album that was "pure" and "in the moment". Recourt claims to have let the songs evolve naturally without trying to push them in any specific direction, which may have something to do with the album's unique industrial sound. The controversial cover art was created by digital fetish artist, Tsubasa.
In 2004 co-founding member Ward Slojkowski exited the band and Eric Recourt transformed db9d9 into a studio project in order to free up time to pursue family life. Recourt released three more singles as db9d9 between 2006 and 2012 before ending the project in 2014 and creating a new electronic project under his own name.
