Reviews & Discussion
The absolute masterpiece of industrial music. Deep electronic drones, creeping synths, metal percussions, machinery noises and frightening voices create the gloomy and hopeless potrait of modern post-industrial society. The original press on Thermidor had the picture of a human face completely burnt by napalm, and on the backside a black and white blurred shot of the band on stage, masked and menacing. THIS is what industrial is about.
