Das Waffeleisen  Bonus Dutch implication: Waffel is a crude worth for mouth, and eisen are demands.

Seeing Laibach live is probably the closest thing I'll ever have to a spiritual experience. The show was just excellent; will be spending too much money on their IndieGoGo campaign to support them. It was also catastrophically under-attended; they'll never come back to Indianapolis. Bitchkrieg fucked around with this message at 15:15 on May 21, 2015 |

Architect is really good, as is absinth in cocktails. Tonight: Deine Lakaien, Eisbrecher and   BlutengelOh and also Lame Immortelle which I will watch very disapprovingly from afar while drinking massive amounts of beer I guess. Or maybe I'll spend that time productively trying to find a new wallet.

WGT diary #3: Thomas Rainer is a douche who constantly looks like he's desperately trying to not poo poo his pants. Also L'Âme Immortelle is super boring live and otherwise Blutengel wasted no time at all with ballads no one wants to hear anyway and just played a kickass 17-song set of about half new stuff and half older tracks. Got Lucifer live, my life is p. much complete now. Chris Pohl, Ulrike Goldmann and Blutengel own and kick rear end Deine Lakaien was good, Veljanov is an incredible singer and their live sound had something Laibachian to it. Their three encore tracks were just kind of incomprehensible and overly long, though, and no one in the audience seemed to like that final part of their set at all? Eisbrecher is a loving amazing live band but this was the third time I've seen them live and the third time I've noticed literally no one in the audience does anything apart from clapping and singing along. The band is heavy as gently caress, where's all the action? Where are the moshpits? That's never been a problem with at least some contemporaries, like OOMPH!. Also if Eisbrecher could finally drop Miststück that would be swell (but I guess that's never gonna happen) Tomorrow: gonna catch at least half of Youth Code's set, then haul rear end to the other side of the city for Megaherz and Samsas Traum. Hoping for a better audience there than with Eisbrecher.

A friend and I dutifully stood in the crowd, waiting to see what all the fuss about. They came on stage to some ominous music and then about five seconds later a cheesy beat started up and suddenly there were semi-naked spooky vampire girls onstage. I think they were wearing cloaks over bikinis or something? We left before the first chorus, laughing so hard it hurt. Thing is I like a couple of their songs, and some of the music is super catchy but the imagery and the whole spooky vampire schtick is really Not My Thing.

Pope Guilty posted:Lucifer live sounds hilariously amazing. He's totally right and I can see why that'd turn people off. But for me that's why it's entertaining. The word is ... bathos. Overly sentimentalist drama contrasting with the mundane and ordinary. So an example from a Blutengel song would be someone being lonely at the goth club when loving VAMPIRES fly through the window to a cheesy techno beat. And that's hilarious. Like italo-disco which I love. Plus it's Germans doing it so it's extremely blunt and literal. And it's not bad from a technical or songwriting aspect.

Did Laibach play the Edvard Grieg thing? Please describe, in detail, how much it blew your loving mind and made you poo poo your pants (100 words). WGT diary #4 Well, that's done with for this year. Saturday: Youth Code really was excellent, what a chaotic energy on stage! Loved how they really filled that huge main stage even with just two people and no props to speak of. Also Sara spitting in the air and catching / punching it certainly was an, uh, interesting thing she did several times. Was really bummed I only had time to see about 30 minutes of their set. In the end, though, I think skipping the rest of Youth Code's set for Megaherz was a good move because god dang that was a good show that I'd been waiting to see for like ten years? The audience was better than with Eisbrecher and the sound was excellent, if too loud (my right ear hurt slightly despite wearing my good earplugs, I feel really sorry for everyone who didn't bring theirs). I think Eisbrecher is the better band nowadays, but Megaherz might've actually put on a slightly better show, with the enthusiastic audience playing a no small part. Wanted to see Samsas Traum after Megaherz but the air in that venue was so unbelievably tropical that I didn't really want to stay anymore. Sunday: Nothing particularly interesting on the music side so I just drank beer with a fellow exchange student Monday: I had absolutely no idea what Sea + Air was about and thus also no expectations but drat that was excellent as gently caress. A for me totally unknown band actually had me moved to tears during their last song. Maybe it says something that after the song ended, the band left the stage and an outro thing played, there was nothing but silence for a good three minutes, after which the audience exploded. Really excellent, someone here who appreciates minimal indie folk pop stuff might get a kick out of it. Die Kammer was alright and the audience seemed to love them, but that kind of music just isn't my thing at all. QNTAL was 100 % perfect. Fact. The Schauspielhaus (a big ol' theatre) was a wonderful venue for this kind of music, some of the best use of light and (very liberal amounts of) smoke I've probably ever seen. Absolutely beautiful, especially during Sea + Air and QNTAL. I have to say WGT has to be one of the best festivals, if not THE best one, in the world, at least in terms of organization alone. Everything works flawlessly and there's so much stuff to do and see that I think you could easily spend the entire festival without seeing a single band and still have a splendid time and feel like you've gotten your money's worth. Special mentions go to the fact that the ticket includes public transportation for the entire festival and to how they control the flow of people by some clever booking and scheduling trickery and thus ensure no venue is ever too full, at least from what I've seen. It's a masterclass in how to organize a festival. a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 10:56 on May 26, 2015 |

I have it on good authority (that is, Syrah said the name a couple of times) that it is /kn tɑl/, with no vowel sound between q and n  The German wiki says it's /kɑn tɑl/, though.

CAT rear end now!!! posted:Did Laibach play the Edvard Grieg thing? Please describe, in detail, how much it blew your loving mind and made you poo poo your pants (100 words). My wife was busy loving Around before the show and we were running a bit late. I warned her that if we missed Laibach I would poo poo myself blind. We made it just as they were starting, and the opening overture (from Volkswagner?) was amazing. Their entire set was fantastic, but almost everything was new Laibach. We went nuts for B Maschina and Tanz Mit Laibach and people were -- in a fit of nostalgia, I'm guessing -- moshing to Laibach.

Was the "intro" (hey man it's like 20 minutes) this? It's not from Volkswagner, it's a completely new thing based on Edvard Grieg's unfinished opera. Also, every minute of it loving owns both visually and aurally. I really hope they release some sort of official video or even a DVD with that thing on it, because it's incredible. And yes, Mina Špiler really is fantastic, she's probably one of my favorite singers / live performers at the moment.

My new EP Post Brimstone is finally coming out this month! After some old label hardships and dealing with that I'll be releasing a synthpop album with AnalogueTrash Records. The entire EP is kind of low key and mellow with a slower BPM. I'm not fighting any establishments on this one. As always, I'm excited to see what you guys think about the new single from it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scOcrp08TwM

Which, given the quality of "Our Time Will Come," isn't going to be especially good. The last few times I've seen them, they did 'Drug Against War' as an encore. They're still a fun group to see live, and they put on a good show -- definitely pander to the audience (mostly diehard fans). I'll probably be at the Indy and the Cincinnati shows. CHANT is a great opener and the two guys in it are super gracious and awesome.

Last time we posted our album here it got a pretty good response... and our newest just came out today. Our 5th album 'TIMESHIFT' is out on Artoffact Records, and I think if you're into the weirder branches of industrial then you'll find it a treat. We'll also be playing Terminus next month and hope to spot a goon or two there! https://volt9000.bandcamp.com/album/timeshift
