A Split - Second

Profile:
During 1985, Peter Bonne met up with Marc Ickx who was a former schoolmate. ... Within the year, A Split Second became a reference for this music style. Ballistic Statues ... With Rigor Mortis, they did better than everyone expected.

EBM band whose "Flesh", when slowed down, became one of the key early New Beat records in Belgium in the mid-to-late eighties.

Review by GarthBPM Mar 24, 2005 (edited over 7 years ago)
Looking back, A Split Second looks almost silly compared with other industrial bands of the 1980s-1990s (See the Mambo Witch video). They don't seem as tough as Front 242 or as scary as Skinny Puppy. What is kick-ass about these guys is their music. The two albums released on Wax Trax! (A Split Second, and ...From The Inside) are absolute classics of that era when Techno, New Beat, EBM, and Industrial overlapped nicely.
