What is this bizarro world where electro-industrial people don't know VNV Nation?

I'd say their best/most accessible two are Praise the Fallen and Empires. The former still has some more ebm moments whereas the latter is pretty solid futurepop. The rest of their more recent albums are closer to Empires.

Yea... VNV Nation is one of the bigger selling shows here it seems.

Empires is defiantly a good starting place. FuturePerfect would be my next suggestion.

As for Combichrist, I really prefered Andy's IoC days more. But live is awesome.

VNV had this superslick LED board up and running throughout the show.


"If a man my size can move like this, then all of you can do it, too!"


This was a real thing that occurred -- he got a couple shout outs from Ronan ("are you tweaking right now, mister... Pokemon? Sonic?") and wound up throwing the cap at Ronan, who put it on for a bit. By then I'd retreated to the bar and didn't get a picture of it.

Skold is a badass that gets alot of flack for being straight to the point angst and joining bands that are on their way out. After Twiggy left Manson, Skold joined from Resident Evil soundtrack until after Eat Me Drink Me, then Twiggy and Manson became bffs again and "booted out the swede". If you play Doom with his songs playing, it's proven your game will be 200% more mindlessley bloody:

Some of Skold's stuff I love because it just rocks and works perfectly (KMFDM - Anarchy, one of the songs that got me into industrial)

Some of his stuff I find too pandering and emo (KMFDM - Save Me, sounds like something directly off a Linkin Park CD)

I have also noticed he gets into bands on their way out, and inadvertently gained a reputation as a "band killer". It's interesting but I think it's more of him just climbing the ladder and getting higher up in the industry - and bands in their prime don't exactly hire new members/songwriters. Regardless you got to give the guy credit as he successfully worked all the way up to Marylin Manson starting from the absolute bottom.

The movie was, uhh... interesting. On the one hand, it's a big happy success and definitely a unique project in that it pretty much looks and feels like a Hollywood production even though it was made with a ridiculously tiny budget compared to them, and also in that it was partly crowd-funded, showing that there is power in fans who believe in your idea. On the other hand... it's not a fantastic movie. I was personally expecting something way funnier, seeing as the guys made Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning before this (which is genuinely hilarious throughout the whole movie), but the amount of brilliant jokes could really be counted on the fingers of one hand. The movie is also just all over the place, it seems like they really had no idea what they wanted the movie to be. Anyway, I thought Iron Sky was far from brilliant or even "very good", but alright. Kind of sad that it's more interesting as a phenomenon than as a movie.

From a Laibach fan's point of view the movie is pretty drat interesting, though, because the music isn't actually the only Laibach thing that is featured in the movie. It was pretty astonishing to see Laibach's symbolism shown so prominently on the silver screen. The movie's themes also touch on a lot of very Laibachian concepts so I can definitely see why they were so interested.

Thanks for finding me a bunch of music goons, I'd gotten tired of my playlists and decided to go deep on the industrial side.

For content, a few songs from a band I listened to a lot when I was younger, The Kovenant(Not to be confused with Covenant or The Covenant).

They've got a lot of turds, but these two I really like. Shame their new album looks to be going back to the more melodic black metal sound of their earlier albums, though I guess they're better at it.

I loving love The Kovenant. I think their best album is Animatronic, followed by SETI. Times Before the Light isn't bad either, but I have to be in a really agressive mood to listen to industrialized remixes of a black metal album.

(Animatronic) New World Order - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mohtVnxVGDk
(SETI) Planet of the Apes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEK-bCxlpY4
(Times Before the Lights) The Chasm - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZNwZwEF6Aw

Animatronic and SETI are two of my favorite industrial rock albums ever.

Got back from Laibach. Laibach were pretty amazing, like really great. Just as good live if not better.

The venue was pretty terrible, far too small for Laibach, and the crowd was sadly small. And oh the crowd, the crowd pretty much ruined the entire thing. A group of them constantly kept talking loudly which I felt was incredibly disrespectful, and then during Tanz Mit Laibach and Alle Gegen Alle they decided it was a great idea to start a mosh pit in an already small venue. One guy managed to pull me down to the floor even though I didn't want anything to do with it. Very much ruined Alle Gegen Alle which I found rather upsetting.

I don't think a whole room of assholes could have ruined it though, I loved it. I'm glad to have finally seen them. It was worth it.

The setlist was the same as the one posted earlier except there was a nice surprise in the form of Das Spiel Ist Aus right at the end.

The preview for the new Dependent compilation is seriously exciting me, though I admit the Seabound underwhelms me slightly, I'm retardedly excited for proof that new Seabound even exists.

http://dependent.de/index.php?lan=de&area=releases&id=188

The tracklisting is interesting and most of my old standbys are not disappointing:

quote:

1. Radioaktivists - Pieces Of Me
2. KMFDM - Amnesia (Käpt´n K. Mix Edit)
3. Mesh - You´ll Never Understand (Harder)
4. SKOLD - Tonight (The Birthday Massacre Remix)
5. Pride and Fall - Reborn
6. Informatik - World of Wonder
7. Seabound - The Escape
8. Dismantled - Whole Wide World
9. Encephalon - The Transhuman Condition (Singularity)
10. Front Line Assembly - Angriff (Project Pitchfork Mix)
11. Stromkern - Ruin(ed)
12. Acretongue - Violent Pale
13. Ghost & Writer - Fraud (DECAY INC´s Fourty-Something Radio Mix)
14. Velvet Acid Christ - Even Now
15. Decoded Feedback - Another Lost

(click the link, there are long previews of every track even though the player itself sucks)

edit: geez, if Edge of Dawn had gotten on here there'd have been four tracks with Frank Spinnath singing.

They usually have about a dozen assholes show up who apparently are willing to pay €25 just for Tanz mit Laibach. The Volk tour was a bit rough, as they played the entirety of that rather quiet album, and some people just waited for the encore.

loving great that the Tate show will be recorded. I already have the Volk tour CD, which is pretty great(Although they hosed up Slovania...Milan has his talents, but he's not actually a musical guy and tends to come in at the wrong time occasionally). This Tate Modern show, from what I'm hearing, will be something for every Laibach fan, and most every industrial fan.

Shotgun Messiah has been completely forgotten by industrial. Their first album Bop City I found on cassette a few years ago and sounds exactly like Skold's thong photo looks. Then Skold and Cody took over and recorded some great ballads and industrial influenced metal:
