Ideal Example of Terror EBM -- Heavy Hitting, Fast Paced, Dark Music,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bind, Torture, Kill (Audio CD)
About the Band:
Fronted by Belgian Johan Van Roy, Suicide Commando is the seminal example of an industrial sub-genre known as terror electronic body music (EBM). Like most terror EBM acts, Suicide Commando can be characterized by the use of distorted and twisted vocals over an intense and pounding militaristic beat. As the name of the band might suggest, the lyrics take on an extremely dark subjects, focusing on death and murder. In general, this genre of music isn't seriously promoting or glorifying anything, but is audio art designed to convey an emotional sense of fear and terror. About the Album: This latest album will appeal to fans of Suicide Commando's well alternative chart topping album "Mindstrip". Dance friendly and hard hitting, many of the tracks on this album are sure to make their way onto alternative dance floors and radio shows. A common complaint of terror EBM, that the overuse of distorted vocals makes it hard to actually understand the lyrics, does not apply to Bind, Torture, Kill. Van Roy actually has done a beautiful job in balancing the use of voice distortion to the point to where you can clearly understand the lyrics, but to where the distortion adds an angry edge to the fast paced electronic melody and beats. Recommended Tracks: - Bind, Torture, Kill - Bleed For Us All - Menschenfresser (Eat Me) - F*** You Bitch Tracks such as Godsend (Deceased, Pt. 2) also feature spoken word voice-overs similar in style and substance to those used by other industrial albums such as Velvet Acid Christ's "Fun with Knives". This mix of voice-overs & distorted vox works well. The version of the album being offered on amazon.com is the Metropolis records import. In Europe the album was released on Dependent. The two versions should be very similar. There is however a limited edition version with 5 extra tracks that has also been released. This review is for the regular edition. Similar Artists: - Tactical Sekt - Aslan Faction - Wumpscut - Grendel - Hocico - Aghast View - Psyclon 9

GREAT ALBUM!,

This review is from: Bind, Torture, Kill (Audio CD)
Never one to deviate far from the path, Suicide Commando remains consistent with every release. While new technology or synths may be incorporated, one can always tell its Suicide Commando from his signature sound. He just has this way of writing songs that is easily distinguishable among the masses of other bands in the terror EBM genre. Now ready to release his sixth album, Bind, Torture, Kill, Suicide Commando has delivered another phenomenal album that fans were expecting, but weren't ready for. Bind, Torture, Kill has all of what is expected of Suicide Commando - distorted vocals, heavy crunching beats, raspy melodies, and piercing high end. But, this album is different. It has an intensity not seen before on previous Suicide Commando albums.BEWARE!

... and I barely like Suicide Commando,

This review is from: Bind, Torture, Kill (Audio CD)
this album is hard core. I love the high end and the beats, but really, the lyrics are silly (again). It's not Axis of Evil. It's MUSIC
