EBM is dead. Long live ELM!

The post ELM – Wapenrustning EP appeared first on Alfa Matrix Store.

ELM makes here his demonstration of ultimate EBM power in 6 versions of the title song “Edge” including the devastation “Punish-mix” as well as alternative remakes by POUPPEE FABRIKK, AUTODAFEH and HARDWIRE, plus a bonus percussive track sung in French entitled “Brofar”. An EP which announces a very promising forthcoming album aptly titled “Hardline”… What you get is what you feel!

Old-school EBM stompers, the time has come to follow the new leader. A must-have release for all fans of NITZER EBB, DAF and SPETSNAZ! This is Electronic Body Music with an “Edge”…

“Hardline” will not deceive. True to its title, this album has attitude. It is strong, raw and menacing. With its powerful vocals, ripping basslines and stomping beats, this EBM album also combines intelligent lyrics (in English, German and French) with an astounding production maturity level that will leave you breathless.
Not surprising, knowing that this well-crafted high quality electronic album is written and produced by none other than the elektro veteran Peter Elm (RESTRICTED AREA) and mastered by comrade Pontus Stålberg (SPETSNAZ). “Hardline” is an assault of lust, rage and uncompromising aggression and a true wake-up call to all EBM freaks: the ELM revolution starts NOW!

ELM profiles itself as a non-stop EBM hit-machine. Besides the now already classic “Edge”, we also get a bunch of other monster club hits like the modern EBM “Wapenrustning” with its hypnotic basslines and addictive chorus “Know your place in the food chain” or the massive brutal track “Kamptrinker” evoking DAF singing on NITZER EBB (or vice versa?).

With a strict “less is more” sound architectural approach shaping the red line of this 13-track album, “Hardline” is very well balanced by a judicious intermingling of darker songs like the almost orchestral epic opening “Black Sky” or yet the vicious dance floor club track “Pervert” featuring kinky female vocals by French artist YS ATLOV (whose vocal backings beef-up several songs from this album). Other more melodic body pop songs are for example the “FRONT 242 meets AND ONE” groovy song “Oblivion” or yet the raw title-track “Hardline” with its efficient synth lines and catchy vocal arrangements. Among other pumping muscled EBM assaults we get for example the uncompromising “Fighter”, the firm pure EBM “Paradise” or yet the aggressive French electro stomper “Envahisseur”.

Enough said? Long life to EBM. Long life to ELM…
This is Electronic Body Music with an “Edge”! “Live – Breathe – Fuck – Feel!”.

This limited deluxe carton box edition comes with a bonus disc featuring 4 exclusive bonus tracks, 5 alternative remixes signed by ELM himself, plus 2 killer remixes by compatriots POUPPEE FABRIKK and SPETSNAZ!

We were all anxiously waiting for this NITZER EBB reunion album since the band’s highly successful come back on stage a couple of years ago, as well as some recent promising appearances on various film and television (Saw IV, Saw VI, NCIS, Fringe…) soundtracks and other video games (Tony Hawk: RIDE). On “Industrial Complex”, Douglas McCarthy and Bon Harris go back to their roots and mix NITZER EBB’s own sound signature made of pounding bass rhythms, upbeat electro sequences and menacing vocals. Intense, powerful, straight and catchy, this new album presents the band’s many new hits including “Promises”, “Once You Say”, “Payroll” or yet “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”.

On top of that, Alfa Matrix offers a free extra label compilation with each order. Good to know, included on this compilation is a brand new song by the old school ebm act Pouppee Fabrikk amongst many others.
