Nice mention of KMFDM. Yeah, Medusa as an album is a masterpiece. One of my favorite albums of all time.
I've been relistening to Nihil for the past week. It's just so well put together and heavy hitting. I've also been meaning to get into more Darkwave stuff, and Clan of Xymox feels like a great entry point.
I'm all about the darkwave and related genres. I try to go to shows when they are in the area, but Texas isn't too big on that.
I thought about starting an OT about Darkwave, Goth, etc, but I figured it wouldn't gain much traction and would be buried instantly.
Hau Ruck has to be my favorite KMFDM album. I love the Opium album too, but that's just my ambient/idm genre appreciation taking over.
Go for it man! I'd post there! A Goth/Darkwave/Emo/Industrial comprehensive thread would be cool as hell.
I'm pretty lazy with forum etiquette and stuff. I prefer just to sit back and post on topics. What other stuff do you like in relation to KMFDM or Clan of Xymox?
I'm big on Covenant, Sisters of Mercy, Skinny Puppy, Decoded Feedback, etc etc.
Ritual Howls, Tempers, Chelsea Wolfe and Soft Kill. My whole Darkwave delve was from hearing Whirl by Soft Kill. Me and my co-worker love doing deep dives into random genres during the morning shift, so we listen to a whole swath of random stuff that comes up on our discovery playlists.

Should check out some local college radio stations stuff in the after hours. You won't believe what you'll hear on there. I've discovery some pretty great underground darkwave esque music.
I mean... I don't want to totally nerd out here, but I actually know the guy who does exactly that where I live. It's a show called Phazed Cookies. And he will play pretty much whatever the fuck he wants. You'll hear Pavement, Soft Kill, New Order and Steely Dan all in a row.
That's badass. I'm still debating on making that darkwave,goth OT. I'll think about it. Would be nice to talk to more people about this.
If you'd like some help in gathering some info for the OT, I'd be happy to help! The embedded YouTube feature would be perfect for artist samples.
Yess! Live action adaptation won't be the same in large part because of the music.
Ive been all of the place this evening,
This is a REALLY good Steve Vai song which you probably havent heard. If you like musicals you might like this too. Amazing vocal melody, super catchy.
My favourite Simon n Gar song turned into City Pop (japanese pop jazz funk)
And now Im listening to some gregorian chant I found on youtube

Still listening to the Villans album from Queens of the Stone Age.
This is the best track off the album. The bass track is so good.

Been listening to the new Dälek a lot, shit's dope.
"Last night I took acid and mushrooms
I did not transcend,
I felt like a walking piece of shit.....in a stupid looking jacket"
It's good!

Such a great comeback after Tom´s death. What is especially great is how the song makes you think "Oh no they got soft..." after the cleans in the beginning and then gets a lot heavier later on while still being very accesible. Can´t wait to see them live again.
I've been on a Rammstein kick lately, so I decided to check out another band of (supposedly) similar genre - Eisbrecher. I think the quality is less consistent, but there are a couple I like...such as:
^Mogwai was amazing live. Saw them open for Pavement in the late 90s.
Mr Bungle : Disco Volante
also Britney Spears because why not?

Don't sleep on their earlier albums, either. Teens of Style is fantastic. Love this music video:
Been listening to a lot of Interpol today.
Turn On The Bright Lights is a sublime album. Not a bad track on there.

True, shame they never made anything that came close to that since.
