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.boo_radley posted: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. 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. a_gelatinous_cube fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Oct 19, 2011 |

Why are you upset at Nachtmahr? German name: ✔ English vocals w. accent: ✔ 4|4 kick drum: ✔ 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: http://blog.peta2.com/2011/10/exclusive-download-from-skinny-puppy.html

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. molotoveverything fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Oct 19, 2011 |

Scary thought, but what if these drat kids of today have such horrible taste, yet enough influence that in 20 years they're considered "pioneers" of the next evolution of industrial music? Oh gently caress. Someone kill me now.

Speaking of mind.in.a.box, does anyone know what sort of vocoder or program he uses to get the sort of female robot voice thing he does in songs like Change? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRcXVZFlSWY

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...)

![]() This drops today. I think it's good, and at the very least leaps and bounds better than Mythmaker. Please go buy it.

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 . :\

Jesus Christ, Apop's cover of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" is hideous. In parts it's painful to listen to.

thats pretty drat bad, though I guess it can't be totally unexpected considering they've been in a decline for almost a decade now.

I have to be honest and say I didn't hate it. And it's probably better than anything else they've done since they started their decline. But my expectations were very very very low.

I like the She wants revenge version. Apop went downhill as soon as they started to sing about pokemon..

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.

Had that video not shown pics of gothic imagery and industrial fashioned people, they could have posted a bunch of 80's dudes with suits, ties, and bad hair and it wouldn't be out of place.

Apparently Ashbury Heights lives quote:@ashburyheights: Have gotten tons of old drum machines to play with for creating the rythms of the new album, gonna try beefing up the classics w modern tech

I really hope he just makes new music. The old songs are fine as they are. (I am secretly hoping he "beefs up" the old stuff and it turns out to rule.)

I assumed he meant beefing up classic drum machines for the new album.

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.

I think either Animal or Happiness had something really close to what you're describing.

nah, wasn't 242. I wish they would make another album though, since I actually liked most of pulse. 32crash is okay but it's not the same.
