I’m listening. Trying to get into it. Kind of just straight on thrash metal…not really my thing.
Maybe I lack the proper context but is this really all that innovative? Didn’t Metallica, Slayer etc. pioneer this sound?
Yeah, I’ve tried multiple times to get into them too, and it just sounds like a mess to me.
In my mind it’s another case where I think someone did better work with Al than he did before (see also, The Blackouts, Chris Connelly).
Not only that, but the riffs on Psalm 69 were the best on any album, and that was when Mike was writing with/for them
Wasn’t the album originally going to be called ‘Stigmata’ ?
(Edit)
The Land Of Rape And Honey album.
Which album?
[reply]LORAH was not super guitar heavy. The Missing, Deity, Golden Dawn, and the beginning of Destruction had guitar in them, but that’s it. 4 out of 11 songs doesn’t really qualify as guitar heavy in my opinion. The rest of it is a more abrasive version of Twitch. Except for Abortive, even though that was a Twitch b-side.
Stigmata and flashback also featured guitar.[/reply]
there is no guitar in flashback. it’s a keyboard. i also thought it was a guitar at first, until i saw them play it live.
as well i think they sampled guitar and bass on lorah as well.
as for that whole NIN thing… well, i got into ministry through NIN… as well as into Coil - thru nin as well
so if anything, nin was like the bridge between ‘mainstream’ and ‘underground’ (or w/e u call it)

This is exactly it. There’s no point knocking bands like NIN, because like it or not, they’re often the gateway drug. I found some amazing bands simply by reading interviews with musicians I liked as a teenager and they’d drop names here and there. You’d investigate and find it was infinitely better than whatever it was you once worshipped.
I actually miss that a lot… the hunt for new and exciting music.
I would read interviews with a band I like, and they would name drop some other band… And I would go and find their album, buy it, and have no idea what I was going to hear… That’s how my first experience with Neubauten went. I bought the 2X4 live album and got home and put it on… no idea what to expect, and I was blown away. I miss the mystery and the hunt of it all… with the internet now that’s kind of lost. With the immediacy of the information (you can listen to songs, watch videos, read a wikipedia page, and find 50 other related bands right away) the mystery and fun of exploration has disappeared… at least it feels that way to me.
nine inch nails cds all sound like the same stuff.more noise then talent…

I agree with this to a point. I still get the thrill when I find something I really like. I was getting Post-Punk recommendations on another forum and this guy told me to look up a band called Mass. Unless you know any song/album titles most of what you’re gonna find is church shit. But a song by Part 1 (the band on my avatar) called “Black Mass” came up. I still thought it was Mass because Part 1 didn’t look like a band name to me. But I saw other songs that said Part 1. I downloaded their album “Pictures Of Pain” and that’s probably the best thing I’ve found in a long time. I found an found an interview with one of their members talking about the history of the band and he said that they were good friends with a band who’s a little more well known called Rudimentary Peni and someone else said Amebix - who I’ve heard people called the forefathers of Crust Punk - were part of the same scene. Those 2 bands have Wikipedia pages and Part 1 doesn’t.
You, and others, might feel jaded on the search for music with the rise on the internet. But I’m sure you’d feel proud if you found a band without a Wikipedia page that you would have to do more of a search on.
Yeah, you may be right. Though that sounds more like a case of an exception proving the rule.
I guess I’m just good at being jaded. It’s like my super power or something.

more noise THAN talent.
I remember my buddy got really into Metallica when we were young teenagers and we decided that since Cliff Burton (the epitome of COOL) was always wearing Misfits shirts that we needed to go get some Misfits. We bought an EVILIVE cassette and listened to it. “Singer sounds kind of like Danzig,” I said (we’d heard “Under Her Black Wings” and “She Rides” on some local radio show). “I guess a little bit,” huffed back my friend. I don’t remember how long it was before we’d properly connected the dots.
