Ever go look at Alien Vampires covers and publicity shots? Go ahead, I'll wait. That's pretty much what they do, unfortunately.

It's somehow classier when In Strict Confidence does it. At least ISC has credibility with their music. (I really really really like ISC.)

ISC get away with it because they write beautiful expressive music as opposed to music that is designed to punch people to.

There's nothing for ISC to get away with because their visual style bears no resemblance to Alien Vampires' style whatsoever. PS. ISC owns and I want to see them live

They are one of those bands that I like on compilations, but never actually buy their albums. Which ones are good?

My real introduction to them was their last album, La Parade Monstrueuse. I don't think you can do wrong trying it first. From what I've heard of theirs, it feels like the culmination of everything they've done previously. edit: Full disclosure, SnowWhite would have probably been a weird loving track to me, but I'm completely open to it after having played through The Witcher on PC. teethgrinder fucked around with this message at 04:44 on Apr 4, 2012 |

Saw Laibach's We Come in Peace tour in Berlin last night and was blown away. I've seen them nine times now, and this was easily the best. Songs from every era modernized, and with a great deal more live instrumentation than you can expect from most groups in the genre. Beyond that, they did a 24-song set, playing the setlist from Helsinki, but adding Final Countdown, Geburt einer Nation, and Das Spiel ist aus. If they come within six hours of you, I strongly recommend going.

CAT rear end now!!! posted:gently caress off Thought Love on the Beat was great. I got sucked into the beat pretty quickly, and it really seemed like something different for them. I do think that LotB, Warme Lederhaut, and Ballad of a Thin Man all sound like they belong together. Really hope that has something to do with an forthcoming album.... Anyway, here's the setlist from Berlin. I stole a copy from the stage and got Ivan to sign it too. :-D Boji Bodocnost Smrt za Smrt Brat Moj Ti, Ki Izzivas Drzava Die Liebe Leben-Tod Le Privilege des Morts (intermission) Across the Universe Take Me to Heaven Final Countdown B Mashina America Under the Iron Sky Tanz mit Laibach Alle gegen alle Du bist unser Warme Lederhaut Love on the Beat Leben heißt Leben Geburt einer Nation Ballad of a Thin Man Das Spiel ist aus Some funny bits too. I'm sure Milan read from that "Kapital" book at your show? Odd. They also did an intermission, and had a robot voice announce it. Odder still was that after "Love on the Beat", the robot voice told us that if we clap enough they'll do an encore. Laibach is so weird.

I don't even know who SKOLD is but I bought the LP from the KMFDM site when they had that sale and they just sent this: We are sending you this e-mail to inform you that the SKOLD vs KMFDM LP is no longer in stock. Normally in a situation like this we would offer you another item in exchange but since we have no more items to offer in exchange we have no choice but to refund you for the SKOLD vs KMFDM LP. We will ship the rest of your order to you along with plenty of extra items. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. I hope the 'plenty of extra items' is something cool! But the LP was 10 loving dollars, so really I don't care about them 'making up for it' per se. But of all bands I've been huge fans of KMFDM seems to really care about their fans.

Pope Guilty posted:I'm not a Laibach expert, but... Das Kapital? Oh no no. He's talking about a book that the singer of Laibach reads from during the song Le Privilege des Morts off the album Kapital. It's literally just a book that says "KAPITAL" on the cover. I guess that also answers your question, Das Ende! Really jealous of all that extra tracks you got to hear! The perils of seeing one of the first shows, I guess. We didn't have the robot voice, either. I wish a live video of Love on the Beat would surface on YouTube or something, I loving loved it live and want to see if it was as awesome as I remember it being.

I was so pissed when I heard rumors that KMFDM "broke up" and the remaining members made MDFMK... but it all worked out and I have very fond memories of my Sony CD Walkman on the bus going to school blasting that loving album. I haven't heard it since then, but I imagine I'd probably still like it just because of nostalgia. Definitely gonna grab some of SKOLD's poo poo after work today, along with a bottle and some loving weed. Today at work has been pretty fitting for some heavy industrial poo poo... I'm ready to tear the place down.

Well, I definitely liked LotB, but it wasn't a standout for me or anything. I was really impressed with Leben heißt Leben. I know it's an old song, but the new version is different enough to be like new. I guess from a certain perspective, Laibach is being a bit hacky, but I actually like the way they're sort of covering themselves at this point. They used NATO video pictures on the JC Superstars album packaging, and covered Brat Moj. Then on WAT, they recycled lyrics from Kapital on Das Spiel ist aus, and were generally very self-referential. On Volk they reused a big piece of Satanic Versus on America and of course covered The Great Seal on NSK. But it all sounds fresh. And I really love how they're using Mina live, juxtaposed against Milan. I'm hoping she plays a big part on the new material.... By the way, forget being jealous of me. Apparently the show at Tate Modern is going to be three hours long... :-o

Here's an interesting thing Angelspit are trying: they're selling a branded flash drive, and for extra money including albums on it.quote:Angelspit's USB SPIT PILL is a 4GB data key made from sturdy metal and will be shipped to you within 3 days of your order. The flash drive itself, as it says above, is $12, and albums are $5-8. Not a bad deal, I think, if that appeals. Then again, I do wonder how high the quality is on those files if they can jam their entire catalogue onto one of these 4G drives.

I guess it depends a bit on your FLAC settings or something but it's not quite that small, I've ripped all my CDs into FLAC and a 50 minute album stands at about 400 MB. Anyway, looking at their discogs, it still doesn't seem like a problem to fit all their releases on a 4 gig stick.

Quite some time ago, I posted a link to a William Control song. After more than a year of listening to his stuff, I have to say that it's still quite awesome in spite of being a bit angsty. He just released a new album that is up to par with his other releases. That's a good thing to me. He totally gives off the vibe of someone who fucks 16 year old fans, though.

Resistanz day 1 from someone who gets knackered easily: Memmaker were amazing, I didn't expect much less to be honest, very fun and very tiring. I didn't really pay much attention to Be My Enemy they seemed like a generic metal band with a synth to me. E.S.A. were great, but I found urm, everything they had on their background screens completely offensive in every way, it really gave a bad taste. It's surprisingly the first time I've seen Soman, he was wearing an awesome Riddick cosplay. I love Soman and his music is even better in person not much of a bad thing to say. I'm not a huge fan of Frozen Plasma's music so I took a rest and stayed back, what I did catch seemed good. Nachtmahr were unsurprisingly being Nachtmahr, if you don't like their music you'll find a thousand things to hate about them, if you don't mind their music then you'll have fun dancing while ignoring everything else they do that's offensive. I've seen Grendel so many times now they're becoming completely unremarkable for me, not doing anything new, I even left half way through because I was so tired. If you've never seen them you most certainly should but don't expect anything new between shows. Today I'm really looking forward to finally seeing Icon Of Coil, they're one of the groups that got me into the genre so I'm glad I'm actually getting the opportunity to see them. I think I'll be taking the rest of the day pretty easily but I'll try to catch everyone. I'm not familiar with most of the people playing day 2 so maybe they'll be someone surprising. I'm still not convinced on Corporation as a venue, it's still just as small, and unlike last year they have upstairs closed off but they did expand the smoking area so at least there's some room to replace that was lost. Still there's definitely more people this year so it seems silly. The food caterers are idiots and think it's a good idea to cook food as people order it causing you to be in line for no less than half an hour waiting for a little bratwurst and curly fries. Brilliant. By and large my biggest problem is a problem they had last year, and that's the music they play between bands. They have DJs for the after parties but they don't have anyone on between bands. I don't see why they couldn't just have someone doing quick 15 minute sets instead of sticking on Marylin Mansons greatest hits CD on repeat. It got very annoying very quickly. Last year I put it down to them just overlooking it, now I don't know what they're excuse is. Oh well, good bands, cheap booze, lots of people, anything you can complain about is offset by the good things.

I was honestly surprised that I enjoyed Ultraviolence at Resistanz. I was fully expecting them to be completely crap, but they were pretty good. Very silly and the sparks and stuff was dumb, but actually enjoyable musically. Icon of Coil were fun once they got going and it was really great to see them again after eleven years! (But they weren't as good as they were before Combichrist happened IMO, I guess he's more used to shouting than singing nowadays) and MIAB were loving great. The only bands I watched much of on Saturday were Memmaker and ESA, who were both awesome. Jamie ESA is pretty drat hunky as well  Got kinda lost in the venue a bit - and the security was pretty shite, given the amount of punters from the upstairs rock night wandering through the main bit on Saturday. Although on Sunday when it was the hardstyle DJs upstairs, we spent a good ten minutes exploring, discovering a bar we'd never even realised was there and balconies too. Twiin posted:Be My Enemy is Barry from Cubanate. Live, they sounded basically exactly like Cubanate to me (admittedly, they played at least one actual Cubanate track, bet you can guess which one) Also, UK types who're going to Infest, when August comes around we could hit each other up with PMs and arrange to somehow put neckbearded* faces to dorky internet names or something since I kinda failed to do that before this weekend. (*I don't have neckbeard really)

For those two other Laibach fans up there: Aside from the Iron Sky soundtrack (which is okay...worth it as a fan for the new version of B Mashina and a couple other tracks, but is really a collection of one minute bits of the score with way too many samples from the movie), Laibach Revisted, the reimagining of their first album, should be done this month. And apparently they're releasing something called An Introduction To... Laibach / Reproduction Prohibited, which is apparently a new covers album that will include Ballad of a Thin Man and Warme Lederhaut. And presumably Love on the Beat... EDIT: Bah. Apparently it's a collection of their greatest covers, and Thin Man and Lederhaut might be the only new tracks.

So I'm going to a music festival this year and Combichrist is playing. I've seen them once before, when they were opening for Rammstein. Didn't know who they were, neither did most people there but they absolutely rocked the crowd. It was the best opening act I've seen, even though I've never even heard of their name before. Basically, I see that their discography is pretty large. Where's a good place to start? I really like "Get your body beat up", but I haven't heard much of their stuff yet. edit: VNV Nation is also playing, any tips where to start with them?
