Industrial music reviews

Rogue's version of Here Comes The Rain Again is worth the price of this cd alone! Hauntingly beautiful music!

this is an absolutely amazing album.... the beats are solid, and the music is driving, kind of eerie sometimes, but always beautiful... rogue and rachel are amazing violinists and rogue's voice fits in almost frighteningly well with the rom-style violins. great stuff.

I have seen the Cruxshadows live twice and have always been enraptured by their sound and stage presence. People even dance when Rogue (the vocalist) is reading poetry. However, while I adore Telemetry of a Fallen Angel, I was a bit disappointed that their darkly passionate remake of the Eurythmic's "Here Comes The Rain Again" was absent. It was one of my favorite songs live. Well, it's included in this wonderful and (sadly) limited-edition EP as well as a remix of "Marilyn, My Bitterness". In addition, "Leave Me Alone", presented in two forms, stands as a promising preview of their next full length. I'm already hearing all of these songs on dance floors, and I am so happy for the band, who are always so kind to their fans. Trust me, you can't go wrong with this.

Each of these tracks are solid early 90s kmfdm, but I can't help feeling sorry for those poor saps trying to sell it for 15$+. It's kinda fun thinking that this single is 'rare', but even more fun knowing that I didn't pay more than 5 bucks for it.

This CD is excellent. All four songs are wonderful, even better than the originals, for the most part. The original "Split" is better, but these remixes still hold their own. I recommend this CD-single to all KMFDM fans, especially those of "Money."

This single has not left my CD player in a month. I got it at the suggestion of a friend....if you like driving beat, electronica, funk, aggressive guitars, all mixed to exquisite perfection, spend your cash on this gem. "Sex on the Flag" MUST be played at maximum volume. You must FEEL that one to believe it. "Split-Apart" is George Clinton meets Rammstein. I own other KMFDM singles and CD's and this is my favorite, by far. Buy it before it's no longer available.........GO NOW!!!

I saw the band at the Key Club on Sunset Strip and knew NOTHING about them whatsoever - JVB's prancing predatory stage prescence and a helluva' rendition of Lovesong and I was hooked - This CD is excellent and reminds me of the first Stabbing Westward ( Fistful of Lies, Insane quite Westwardesque ) album in the nineties - They have a lot of raw energy and I know this doesn't always gel with post punk industrial goth rock (????) but it's also a lot of fun to listen to. (Scars is a bloody good pop song right up there with Siouxise, Hole, etc ). Buy this album and support this band as they are far fresher than most of the rehashed, tired ( yes trent, marilyn ) offerings from their fellow genreists - and non fellow genreists U2, The Stones ...

I happened to catch a live show by chance (I hate live music unless I know the band) and I was hooked. The fact the lead singer was prancing around in the coolest (and shortest) dress I'd seen in a while helped... The music is wonderful, I'm not sure how to describe their music but if you like Kidney thieves, NIN, or Rammstein you will love them (Otto's Daughter). There is an official web site out there with show dates...

We've got these guys in heavy rotation finally and the listener's love it. They are truely up-coming industrial giants. They are on the level of Nine Inch Nails, this a band to watch.

Wow what can be send about a classic? Vampire Nation has done once again and excellent job of creating complex subtle and sometimes dark ambient rhythems. This CD takes you to the heart of the dark continent and doesn't dissapoint. This is a band on the rise I highly suggest that you pick this one up!

Damn, when i first heard this record I thought it was going to be some guy singing like peter murphy or something. This record is absolutely amazing. The best way I can describe it is African Chillout music, if you can imagine that. Blends flutes, riddling synths, watery piano, and sets the tone with raging african beats and modern day beats as well. This is dark D&B and muscally proliferate songwriting. It a Jewel in a sea of Fools Gold. VN comes highly recommended!

Vampire Nation have certainly developed into a contender within the avant-garde music scene ! Styles that would bring a positive affirmation from 'Sun Ra' to 'George Clinton' , topped with a cool radical 'Fela Kuti' politico-vibe ! A Must Have ! ~Michael Saint Thomas

Who's playing what on this record is hard to figure out. All instruments are buried in the red, often making Sighting's music more vicious white noise than anything else. They straddle the line between arbitrary noise and music, but they know what they're doing, and keep the results captivating. Theirs is the sound of instruments coming together and blurring the lines between each other to create something huge. Their jams sound less like a rock band and more like godzilla screaming on a tear through town.

This is the best of the handfull of Helios Creed recordings I have. This alblum is consitant and good from beginning to end. As usual the vocals are difficult to relate to any human language, and intense distortions layer this alblum.

This Helios is the best so far, and includes tracks recorded with ex-Butthole Surfer Jeff Pinkus on bass as well as ex-Pain Teen drummer. Also look for Daddy Longhead and Honky for other new releases from these two guest stars on this fantastic album.

This album is a great collection of some of Die Form's more rare works, allowing the average fan an opportunity to add some great music to their collection. The music ranges for more dark ambient pieces to thumping beats you would expect to find in a nightclub. As always, the booklet that accompanies this two-cd set contains awesome photography by Philippe Fichot. I highly recommend this for any fan of Die Form that does not already own these songs on other albums.

Die Form is known for its erotic, dark imagery and its fascinating music. This 2CD is a collection of the best sideprojects and miscellanous songs, and it runs an awesome 128 minutes. Besides being worth more than your money, this CD is a perfect example of why Die Form is considered one of the best gothic/industrial bands out there. They mix the best of both genres, and add a sexual touch that just pulls you in. The first track, Cinema, is a great introduction. Its full of screaming, groaning, thunderstorms,etc., giving the mood of the entire 2 CD set. Embrace this dark, sexual fantasy world, and never leave it.

Note: The photographs are not for the faint of heart, but they are some of the most beautiful, innovative, and creative pictures I've seen in a while. Enjoy.

my favorite group song is the anal probe
nice work and better with a group :)

If you love leaether strip and have always liked soft cell,your in for such a treat,claus is always going to be one of my favourite composers of great music,my fav soft cell song(sex dwarf)is done by my fantasy,pretty incredible

After hearing this CD four or five times I was hooked. There are a few classic sounding songs on this one, but they've also took a new direction on this one; a direction I think fits really well. There are a lot of big chorus' on this CD; the vocals are exceptional. The studio sound they captured is excellent. Overall this is a great effort by Sevendust.

I never actually knew who Sevendust was until a year ago, when I bought the Scream 3 soundtrack and one of their songs was on their, so I knew I had to buy one of their CDs. It wasn't until two weeks ago when I saw the video for their new song "Praise" that I said, I have to buy "Animosity" so the other day I bought it. I have listened to it and I think it is one of the best angry CDs I have ever bought. These guys are like Slipknot execept way better and less explicit. Speaking of explicit, there aren't many bad words in the explicit version, I should know I have the edited version with the bleeps in it. It only has about 12 bad words in the entire CD, which is good considering the lack of good music that has alot of cursing. This CD and Staind's Break The Cycle are both good buys when bought at the same time. Listen to this CD when you are angry or upset to get the entire feeling. If you listen to it when you're happy you'll still feel good. Just buy it and stop reading the reviews. Oh, and if you can please press the little "HELPFUL" button for me please. Thanx!

Enchanting, beautiful, haunting. I love to listen to this when I am alone. The remix of Exile is particularly well done, and Whispering Trees is the song that made me fall in love with S&E. I cannot think of a group that is even remotely similar to their sound; they are unique.

Soil and Eclipse may not be well known outside of the gothic/industrial/synth realm, but they are a very strong and powerful group. Their music is unique and stands alone among so many other clone type groups. A simple, two person group, Soil and Eclipse mixes haunting, soaring lyrics with dark but snappy beats. Archetype and Meridian are their strongest works. Soil and Eclipse's CDs capture their live performances pretty well, too.

Soil and Eclipse is one of those rare groups who make truly beautiful music. If you're tired of popular music's boy bands and rap/rock hybrids, Soil&Eclipse is a nice change of pace. Jay's haunting voice makes the listener feel the music, and Child's beautiful keyboard work adds greater depth to the new tracks. Also, the remixes are great, esp. the Nerve Factor one. Truly one the best bands out today.
