Rated 5/5
Review by Scrap_Iron Jan 17, 2004
"Leichenlinie" is German for "line of corpses"... a terrifying title and cover artwork for one of the most brutal industrial records ever.
"Mind Control" is an hellish maelstrom of distorted desperate voices and raw electronic noises, "Klaus Barbie" has the rhythm of a heavy metal press working, "Stalin Orgeln" is a deafing metal cacophony with nothing to envy to early Einstürzende Neubauten. Finally, "Keiner Kommt Zurück" is a really disturbing track with an hypnotic electronic rhythm and what sounds like a German radio reportage about dead soldiers in WWII.
The cover has a heavy metal plate fixed on it, and some copies come with either the photo of a German solider glued on the back or a white sheet of paper stained in blood with razor blades attached to it! A dangerous record to handle!
Just about 291 copies were made, so now "Leichenlinie" is one of the most sought-after industrial records ever!
