Yeah, this masculinity stuff can be complicated. Though the rules are simple for him. If he likes it, then it’s macho. If not, it’s effete.
Love it. Especially the borderline cheesy stuff (Cubanate, baby — Cubanate!).
Never really managed to track down anything recent and decent. Some stuff that has hints of EBM/Darkwave — some bits of The KVB, maybe Factory Floor, or The Soft Moon (cold wave?) — but nothing like F242 or FLA.
Enjoying this Schwefelgelb album from the bandcamp playlist, though. Thanks! Looking forward to making my way through the whole list.
it’s good!
Always loved Snog.
Went on a bit of an industrial music binge yesterday off the back of this
Turns out this year’s Ministry album is pretty good. Railing against Trump and also the socio-political climate that allowed him to rise in the first place. Kinda love that Ministry sound like they do but are basically lefties.
Conversely, the latest Front Line Assembly album is real generic EBM veering into EDM…
Any hot picks for 2018 in this vein?
Love Ministry but been a bit scared to listen to the new stuff. Will check it out!
It’s quite restrained by their standards (I mean, still intensely aggressive by normal standards but it’s all relative!). Some banging riffs, and beats are less blast-beat oriented than some releases.
Havent heard them since the last sucker (which was good!). Had no idea they were still churning them out tbh
Been enjoying Nomadic War Machine, kind of Industrial Techno.
And Ruinizer, who are supporting Cubanate this weekend. Huge stompy, aggressive industrial stuff.
Totally agree with you about the new FLA album. Dodgy EDM for most of it
Sweet - will check these out
Maybe start with the first Nomadic album…
As for new stuff. You heard Container?
I’m also digging Azure Deux by Muslimgauze at the moment. It’s not new, but I hadn’t noticed it on Spotify before until the other day:
I have not, but I’m adding it to my growing to do list.
Basically not really listened to any industrial this year apart from my occasional Skinny Puppy moments. Just feeling the vibe again now Leeds has returned to being all grey and damp.
Fair enough… my suggestions are only vaguely industrial tbh. Influenced by it, and noise and techno etc.
Cool RA feature on the subject
On a Muslimgauze trip (again) at the moment. Coming across lots of cool stuff, like:
and this brilliant new tape:
