Yet another kick in the head from hesitant Industrial luminary, Al Jourgensen and company. No prizes will be won for originality on this one, but there is much to be said for sticking to the tried and true formula that has moved a generation.
Look to Filth Pig for a veritable history of Industrial music (the fare that influenced Nine Inch Nails, Nitzer Ebb, God Lives Underwater, etc.). Jourgensen draws from his previous schemes to bolster Filth Pig with 'pure evil'. Makes you want to go and fish your all-black wardrobe from the trash (oh, wait - you still dress in all-black, don't ya?), and bang your head in quasi-metal fashion.
The 'creeping beat' of Land Of Rape And Honey rears its head, as does the hyper-charged 'sonic boom' of Psalm 69. Every wail on the guitar and bellow of the vocal seems to conjure looking down the barrel of a loaded gun. If you are not that scared by this kind of music, maybe you haven't been listening closely enough to our pal Al.
Never was a lesson learned better or louder. Crank this one up to '10' as an Industrial street-cred primer, and call me in the morning.
