Wow, I just looked up a Blood on the Dance Floor video on youtube. 1.7 million views and 10k thumbs ups. I'm officially an old man, because god drat what the gently caress kids of today.

yeah, but if he carries it out to its logical conclusion, soon Thomas Rainer will be in der muttibunker, preparing his last will and testament. :v:

It's really odd, but there are some neofolk acts are a lot more spooky (terrifying) than anything he's done, and they manage it with just a guitar and violin.

edit: wait a minute, he was in lame immortelle, wasn't he?

Yeah, Douglas P. will be more controversial and scary putting out tracks like this than dorky guy dressing up like Hitler and pretending to beat up women ever will, which is pretty funny.

Euro synth patch: ✔
Military outfits: ✔
Sides of head shaved: ✔
Pointless melodrama: ✔

They have 100% complied with all pre-requisites, stereotypes, and fit the cookie-cutter perfectly. There should be no qualms over this. THEY FIT IN.




On the brighter side of the genre... Wavy from Handover officially released on some PETA side. Actually one of my favorite tracks this year.. deeper and more free-form than Village IMO:

I had to re-read that post about the mentioning of botdf and then question my musical tastes.

How could anyone tour with BloodOnTheDanceFloor? I feel dirty just for the fact they're touring with Angelspit and I don't even listen to them. Just a little too close to comfort, if they're brought up in an electro-industrial thread.

He does a similar thing in that 8bit song too. I imagine it's a combination of changing the pitch of the original sound files and just your typical vocoding.

This is like worrying that bands like Black Veil Brides will set the stage for metal for the next generation. Blood On The Dancefloor sucks so much, no retard listening to them is going to make anything listen worthy beyond the inital novelty of trying to make "the next thing". The industrial that pioneered the halfway decent bands of today was born of a climate of social unrest and nihlistic attitude of the time. The poo poo "the kids" are listening to is disposable bubblegum that will be flushed once the next legit evolution of the genre comes about, there's enough paralells between now and back in the day that the music makers of today activley trying to do something different are so loving pissed that gay poo poo like Dead Inside Crystalis is what the current kind of thing is. Get enough pissed off artists together and they'll wipe this kiddy poo poo out when it hits the boiling point, give it time. Then again, I may just be deluded after 21 days straight of fighting seattle police for the right to be a god drat human being.

Thinking clearly now I'm off the meds I was on the last 4 weeks designed to keep me pacified not finding work since I've set foot in this loving rear end in a top hat city, trying my hardest to stay non-violent at this joke of an occupation with police loving us for sleeping and now for painting protest signs (no joke) I keep trying to do impromptu and planned shows but every time it devolves into me screaming NON's "Total War" while beating the poo poo out of a bucket because the media team thinks my music is too violence inciting to help me perform anything. Police took and lost my laptop after taking tents during week 1 so my music making is out the window until god knows when and I've spent alot of time waiting for the best times to piss on the occupation's Bank of America doors which is losing it's charm so I'm getting ready to pig out tonight and bazooka barf all over them.

Anyone else heard Chrysalide? I just randomly stumbled upon their album "Don't be scared, it's about life", and it's (I hate to use this term to describe electronic music and not metal core) BRUTAL. There's a definite SP influence throughout their album, but to me it's mostly interesting and refreshing. Lots of rhythm switches, tempo changes, time signature changes, etc.

(I'm in no way affiliated with them, I just feel lucky I found some good industrial and wanted to pass it along...)

Just bought this and am on track 3 right now. It doesn't seem offensively bad or anything, but it sounds really bland and sparse to me. I don't know if it was losing Dwayne or just how modern music processing today is, but Skinny Puppy used to have some of the most organic layered synthesizers I've heard, and now everything post-Process is so sterile and tinny sounding. I mean go back and listen to something like Nature's Revenge and then try to listen to any of the newer stuff. I'll still buy anything they put out though . :\

Got the newly released Welle:Erdball album, Der Kalte Kreig. It's... well, I'm actually a bit disappointed. It's not a bad album and is still better than a lot of the electropop out there, but it's not nearly as good as Operation Zeitsturm. It has a couple of standout tracks (Feuerwerk & Amerika) but is less consistently great than Die Wunderwelt Der Technik, Tanzpalast 2000 or Operation Zeitsturm.

Edit: Also, quite a few of the tracks are cover versions, that explains things.

It does come with a live DVD though with shows from 2006 & 2009, which is really good since a] it has all the classic tracks and b] they're awesome live.

guys, help me out. I saw a video a while ago and can't remember the artist or name of the song and it's bugging me to find it now. the song was instrumental. if I remember right, it was a pretty experimental/noisey track. raw sounding with a lot of synth drums and stuff. the video was all 3d spikey geometric shapes that changed with the music. it wasn't too old. if I had to guess, within the last decade or so. that's all I got!

edit: I also get the feeling that the group name was some one word weird name along the lines of wumpscut or haujobb or the like.

242 used this and similar motifs starting back in '93 -- they carried it out to live albums and videos, too. I think either Animal or Happiness had something really close to what you're describing.
