Implant – Soft flesh – hard steel CD

Description

One of the earliest statements from Belgian electro-industrial mainstays IMPLANT, “Soft Flesh – Hard Steel” (originally 1996) captures the band in their raw, formative years. Formed in 1992 and steeped in the influence of FRONT 242, THE KLINIK and Front Line Assembly, IMPLANT here forge a lean, hard-edged brand of EBM built on cold sequences and pounding rhythms.

Across tracks like “Rage”, “Sect” and “Spit”, the album trades polish for pure electronic muscle — a snapshot of old-school Belgian body music before the band’s later, more eclectic evolution. Reissued through Alfa Matrix, it’s an essential early chapter for anyone following one of the scene’s most enduring acts.
