Death in June is totally nazi though, and neo-folk is mostly trash. Rome is okay. Really though, industrial music needs to be either explicitly left-wing or subverting the totalitarian aesthetic by mixing it with dancing shirtless gay guys from tech-support. thotsky fucked around with this message at 12:35 on Mar 1, 2017 |

Future Days posted:re: KMFDM, this song is actually pretty decent! SK, music-wise, definitely needs to get out of his comfort zone and do more experimental and noisy poo poo like in PROLET-KULT (which is getting a follow-up, iirc). That would sound tired even in the futurepop era if you ask me. It's banal and repetitive, and not in a good way. I think WWIII remains the last good KMFDM album. Hau Ruck has some decent tracks, but it feels more like an extension of/companion to WWIII than a separate album. Although, I think they should get back to the sound they had in More & Faster, so what do I know? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=221AWmsuX84

And One is a good band, but weirdly gleefully derivative. Steve Naghavi is basically cosplaying as Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode at all times, and they even covered the main hit of one of the other headliners.

Saw Blanck Mass the weekend before last. It was pretty good. I mean, it's just a spotify playlist for most of the show, with the dude doing some screaming into a mic hooked up to some effects for the last track, but the music takes on a different vibe when it is played that loud.

To be fair, as far as aggrotech goes Harsh Generation is by far the most listenable album out there. Almost all of the songs are quite catchy, and there's a nice old-school Front Line Assembly feel to it with the Sci-Fi samples and stuff. I'd take Grendel over Combichrist any day of the week.

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:I never really listened to much Icon of Coil because the club would always play that Dead Enough for Life song which is too Bon Jovi for even me; liker of Bon Jovi. That's because that and Existence In Progress are the only decent Icon of Coil songs. Both are pretty indistinguishable from the popular Apoptygma Berzerk tracks, so if you need more artistically bankrupt scandinavian futurepop there's always that.

TR/ST has been my favorite band since I discovered them back in 2013. People who dig him should check out his demo-reels from before TR/ST which a buddy of his or something put out on YouTube. There's some proto-versions of a bunch of the tracks from the first album and it's interesting to see how far he's gotten production-wise. Also some mix-tapes which really shows his influences available. Happy to hear that Maya is returning, hopefully this means a faster turnaround, because the wait after Joyland has been painfully long and Robert seems content to just repeatedly tour his old stuff in Mexico without someone to give him a kick in the butt.

You will find lovely people in any community, but any sexist or racist trends I blame on aggrotech and neofolk respectively. Oh, and American counter-culture as a whole pivoting from anarchism and left wing politics to libertarianism and ultimately right wing politics during the 00's.

A human heart posted:The early Neofolk guys started off in industrial and punk and came to their politics before they started doing music with acoustic guitars, so that doesn't really make sense. I don't think American counter culture was ever particularly left wing in general, and industrial is so associated with European scenes and bands that that doesn't make much sense as an explanation either. Maybe I am giving the North-American (mainly Canadian) hacktivist / cyberpunk scenes of the late 90's and early 00's too much credit, but that seemed to be among the last active scenes before Industrial "died". They were overtly political scenes, seeing Industrial music as a suitable soundtrack for the inevitable uprising during the Bush years.

LaPlegua is a total dick, and pretty much a straight up misogynist nazi. It's not like he's was being subtle about it before, but his latest tour was called Make Europe Great Again. Hopefully the Industrial scene will be rid of him now since the alt-right is embracing rockabilly as a genre and LaPlegua has started a rockabilly band called Scandinavian Cock to get on that trend.

Pope Guilty posted:I would've said ATTAK and even that's got weak material on it. Hau Ruck is basically just a re-hash of WWIII, but it's at least a competent re-hash. A lot of people don't like WWIII because they feel it is overrated compared to Nihil and Angst, and they have a point, but it was still a pretty slick production that tapped into some of the same Bush-era energy that Ministry was going for. Everything post Hau Ruck just felt either out of place, really uninspired or like they had jumped the shark with the self-deprecation. "KMFDM sucks" became really cringe once they started sucking.

Pope Guilty posted:I'd like some suggestions, particularly for EBM in the general feel of early Nitzer or Spetsnaz Spetsnaz is already about the best early 2000s homage to Nitzer Ebb that you're going to find. I mean, you could look into the semi-ironic stylings of Sturm Cafe, Jager 90 and Spark!, but it is honestly pretty bad, and you would be much better of making a lateral move from Nitzer Ebb to Front 242 or even DAF. Skip Anhalt stuff altogether. It's pretty much music made to keep the local EBM communities in Germany and Scandinavia alive, and it's entirely derivative and artistically bankrupt. The only actually good thing to make it out of there is Wulfband, which really fits more into the next wave of EBM-inspired artists that also include Youth Code and Boy Harsher. Definitely check those bands out. The latest thing is merging EBM-revival with Berlin Techno. Fixmer/McCarthy is the act leading the way. edit: this post is entirely insufferable, sorry. thotsky fucked around with this message at 02:04 on Sep 9, 2018 |

I kind of doubt it, but it would be nice. In an interview in 2016 he was asked about being seen as left wing even though he professes his music to be apolitical, and his answers seemed noncommittal for someone who says he shuns ambiguity: quote:I understand that Rome specifically isn’t meant to express a specific political narrative, and indeed your complete avoidance of that mindset has been a crucial part of Rome’s identity for many fans. Still, you’ve managed to—as an individual—gather a bit of a reputation as being left-leaning, which itself is a “breath of fresh air” for many people who have found your work through the chasms of neofolk music. Do you take any pride in your ability to project that sort of stature? Or, perhaps, does it bother you that fans are applying a political image to you that you haven’t outspokenly professed on your own? Maybe that's a commercial strategy and now that alt-right art has gotten some real money behind it he is looking to make that his thing? In an interview about the new single or whatever it seemed like the interviewer was trying to get at something sort of related: quote:I’m also a long term Morrissey fan. He’s suffering from a bit of a backlash these days, from media and certain factions of his fan base, because of him expressing support for alt-right party For Britain. Where do you stand on all of this? Does it serve him right or should we separate the artist from the person? Maybe he's being coy, but with a shirt like that he really should explain himself. He is not Laibach. thotsky fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Sep 18, 2018 |
