Einstürzende Neubauten - Haus der Lüge

As much as it pains me, I decided to censor this album cover because I realized it might not be a good idea to have the original image featured on my social media ( view the uncensored version here ) I thought it might be interesting to review another foreign band this week. You might remember that I reviewed the Russian band, Молчат Дома, last week (be sure to check out that post if you haven't yet). This week, I am reviewing an album by a German band, Einstürzende Neubauten.  Einstürzende Neubauten (translates to "Collapsing New Builds") is a industrial band from West Berlin, formed in 1980. Industrial was really big in Germany, and Einstürzende Neubauten was one of the bands at the front of the scene, even playing concerts with Genesis P-Orridge of Throbbing Gristle fame at ICA London ( check out my review of Throbbing Gristle - The Second Annual Report here ). Unlike Throbbing Gristle, Einstürzende Neubauten doesn't stick to pure experimentation and noise in their...

Queensrÿche - Operation: Mindcrime

Hi everyone! This is a post that I started in 2018, but never finished, so you might notice some differences in writing style in the first few paragraphs (although I edited them quite a bit).   I have a large amount of draft posts that I started, but for whatever reason, never got around to finishing. This is one that had a lot done, so I figured I should finish it.  Operation: Mindcrime is an awesome concept album by the progressive metal band, Queensrÿche. It tells the story of a heroin addict named Nikki in a future dystopian society. The story is told by Nikki after the fact, as he is remembering it while laying in a bed at a mental institution. He is recruited by a revolutionary group run by a mysterious man named Dr. X, and brainwashed into becoming a hitman for the cause. What becomes of him? You'll have to keep reading (or listen to the album) to find out! The cover of this album is very unusual, and it looks suspiciously like the cover of Napalm Death's cornerstone ...

Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part 1

Listen Here         I t's October, and Halloween is around the corner, so I thought I'd celebrate with some spooky, Halloween themed bands, or maybe just a band that has a name that sounds like Halloween. If I feel up to it, I might even make a second post this month on Halloween with a second Halloween themed band.          Helloween is one of the original power metal bands, and is credited with creating the genre which is modern European power metal. Despite the band's name, Helloween isn't really a Halloween themed band, although the do have a few songs on the topic. Helloween's music is often very grand and whimsical in nature with fantastical themes. Considering Helloween is a band that helped found power metal it's not very surprising that the genre is also characterized by fantastical themes and  grand melodies. In addition both also feature singers with clean vocals and large vocal ranges. Hello...
