Rummelsnuff ‎- Kraftgewinn

I call this avantgarde sailor EBM. And I don’t even know why I sense any trace of EMB around here, but somehow I feel that this has some kind of an odd relation to it. This thing is hard to explain, but there are some tracks that I just cannot keep re-listening. And this is my one post so far that could best make use of a smiley. This music demands a smile – it’s hilarious. Oddly though, it’s not a completely comedic way of hilarious, it’s just fun, easy, and non-serious. Probably not completely coincidental that it keeps reminding me of Eläkeläiset.

Schramm – Nuklear Fetish

Not an innovator but a pretty good industrial electro-metal record, like in the footsteps of Rammstein but more on the party industrial side of things. I listened to a whole bunch of new releases from the industrial and EBM domains, I wanted to highlight some great surprises, but there were not much to mention at all. This one however is easily one that I am happy to relisten.

Fixmer/Mccarthy – Let It Begin EP

This sound is so recognizable. Intersting how this does not translate outside headphones for me. First listen of Let It Begin with headphones felt like my head exploding (in a good way). Re-listening it on loudspeakers of different kinds just didn’t give the same vibe back. I guess in a club it would be good again. Anyways, headphones it is. Sidenote: great album cover photo.

Phase Fatale – Reverse Fall

RA writes “Hayden Payne’s records package the lunging ferocity of EBM and industrial into a sound you could loosely describe as techno.” Ex-act-ly what I had in mind, all these three cornerstones just like that. I also like the idea that this came through Ostgut Ton.

Mesh – Fragile

Was actually first listening to the 2016 album Looking Skyward which is an okay synthpop record but then went back to this first EP and that’s much better industrial electro and EBM. So this.
