4.0 out of 5 stars Versatile Recording, January 29, 2005

This review is from: Axis of Evil (Audio CD)

What strikes me most about "Axis of Evil" is the versatility. A CD that sounds good enough for club play, driving or at home. It's EBM/aggro that works well enough for a variety of settings and moods.

Axis of Evil has all the requisite stuff: evil samples, pounding beats, growling vocals all with a slight techno edge thrown in for good measure. My favorite track is "Consume Your Vengence". "Cause of Death Suicide" and "Face of Death" might be a little more geared for club play. Less clubby but equally intruiging are "Mordfabrik" and "Plastik Christ".

Less sinister than previous Suicide Commando recordings, it may not appeal to hardcore fans as much. Still, Axis of Evil tries to please, and in most instances I think it does.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Stuff., October 3, 2004

Suicide Commando gleefully wallows in a hostile dance groove while punctuating it with a synthetic attack matched by few. Axis of Evil is a hyperbolical agro-industrial-techno record that is sure to please all fans of the genre.

4.0 out of 5 stars A shining example of what industrial music really is, October 29, 2003

By 

Ted Del Prato "technodemon" (Acworth, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Axis of Evil (Audio CD)

Suicide Commando has been one of those bands that has put out a few good hits now and then...but failed put out an album that was truly great all the way through. Their last album, Mindstrip, was a bland affair in my opinion with the exception of songs Hellraiser and Love Breeds Suicide. Axis Of Evil, though, is a significant improvement over that album. The slow, banging, low bpm style that Suicide Commando is known for has been energized with a faster pace and more complex backround synths. Clever samples and sound effects have also been utilized to give the recording an ominous feel. The marching beat of Face Of Death and the sirens in the backround of Mordfabrik are almost hypnotic. The result is an overall more refined sound that makes the album enjoyable from start to finish. No future-pop or ebm here...just pure militant electro-industrial. Fans of the harsher side of industrial music should definitely add Axis Of Evil to their collection.
