"... from the Inside" is the third studio album by Belgian electronic body music (EBM) band A Split-Second, released in 1988. Following the success of their earlier albums, this record continued to explore the aggressive and industrial sound that the band was known for, with a darker, more experimental edge.
The album's style combines harsh electronic rhythms, mechanical beats, and distorted vocals, which are characteristic of the EBM genre. However, ... from the Inside also incorporates elements of synthpop and dance music, making it more accessible while still maintaining the band's abrasive style. The album features tracks like "Rigor Mortis" and "The Paradox," which blend danceable rhythms with ominous, dystopian themes, reflecting the band's signature focus on alienation and societal decay.
... from the Inside was well-received within the EBM and industrial music scenes, although it did not achieve mainstream success. Despite this, the album helped solidify A Split-Second's reputation as an influential force in the late '80s European electronic music landscape. The album's combination of electronic innovation and dark, confrontational themes has continued to resonate with fans of industrial and electronic music.
