Laibach basically invented the sound of Rammstein and KMFDM. They continue their 20 year brand of opera/EBM/industrial rock performed in Slovenian and English.
Both units work from the peace punk/crust lineage up, absorbing what felt necessary, regardless if it sounded congruous to death metal or ambient grind-vom.
Krisiun’s reputation has always slightly exceeded its substance, but the band are at the forefront of traditional death metal, Brazil’s new tireless ambassadors.
KMFDM does what they do best: Kick-ass metal with electro beats and synths. We haven’t seen a KMFDM album quite like this since 1993’s ANGST or 1997’s SYMBOLS.
Not surprisingly, it sounds like The Sheila Divine unplugged. Perrino’s voice is featured more, now that it doesn’t have to fight distortion for the spotlight.
It’s as artfully crafted and lovingly tended as a highly-polished emerald ring, and you can feel assured that any money you spend acquiring it was well-spent.
