Umbra Et Imago
Mea Culpa (SPV)
by Scott Hefflon
German Goth/industrial pioneers/sex show. Part less-metal Rammstein (just to start somewhere, ya know?), part “hey, look at the tits!,” Umbra Et Imago may get a little tiresome after a while (and they sometimes take forever to get into the groove, favoring long intros and spoken word growling and trippy sound effects), but there’s something about German (I think that’s German) that makes anything Liebach or any of these dudes snarl sound bad-ass and gutturally sexy.
