TEMPEST & THE DIASPORA Urge To Kill Obszön Geschöpf is the French band so far associated with the harsh electro and electro-EBM works better than the guitars. Double album has a total of twenty seven tracks, of which up to fifteen are the remixes, although they are not industrial rock that much, because focused more on the electro beats. Half of the CD #1 is filled with pumping dynamics mixed with guitar riffs in the style of Ministry and Skrew, with some themes recalling even the game Quake 2, but I found also references to My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult ("Body Mutilated Erection" and "Port Elizabeth Massacre"). Do not miss such kick ass tracks like "John Wayne Gacy," "I'm Freak, Urge to Kill," "The Love Butcher", "Bloodfeast”. The other part of the CD is kept in EBM atmospheres to hit the dance floors ( "Erection Body Mutilated", "Goresex", "Deranged" and "The Sex Beast"). You’ll see a list of very well-known musicians on the CD #2 who remixed the songs of OG. There is a mix of artists associated with specific music genres such as electro, EBM and industrial, but also quite new names as Bosch, Cynergy 67 and Tempest & The Diaspora, which music contains heavier guitar riffs. Circus of Dead Squirrels (which once announces they are done with music and offended leaves the scene, then comes back after a short period of time) appeared with their easily recognizable sound in a remix "My First Piece of Meat & Bloody Rare". Steril played hard beats in "Coffin Shop" and Cyber Axis made a dynamic remix to "The Love Butcher" kept in the electro tunes however with some heavier guitars use. I associated Joachim Witt mostly with Wolfsheim project and that is where my knowledge (and curiosity) finished. Strangely Witt showed up here on the CD with very interesting ideas, presenting a simple remix ("My first piece of meat") based more or less on a rhythm known from the famous Run DMC vs. Jason Nevins’ "It Is Like That" with an additional content of aggressive electronics. It’s a very cool track for a music party because the repetitive elements work for its popularity the best. Vigilante came with a typical electro remix "Body Mutilated Erection". Then we can listen to a well known and experienced musician and producer Mark A. Miller with his project OutOut in a remix for "Sinister Bleeding (OpenYRMind Mix)". It’s difficult to recognize his sound solutions used in most of his previous recordings compared to this remix, but the track matches to the rest of remixes on the CD. Next, FGFC820 with severe, even crude, marching rhythm in “Goresex” so to me too much of EBM and we’d rather go on. Iconoclast, Schattenschlag, Xentrifuge, Inertia are another bands using mainly synthesizers and computers, so nothing really interesting to industrial rock fans. Bosch is a band that so far I couldn’t understand, because despite the fact that they use guitars in a good manner, they still haven’t decided to abandon harsh-electro sounds. So they continue with both and remixed "I'm Freak” on the CD. And at the end of the CD we have the two bands, which I came across possible in the same way like OG’s Remzi - through Myspace. The first band is Cynergy 67, which just like Bosch applies balanced levels of guitars and electronics, but still remembers to keep the dynamics of their dance tracks. They made "Port Elizabeth Massacre” remix filled with their typical sound. Tempest & The Diaspora, a new band from Colorado, currently working on a debut album, made the last remix on this disc - "Urge To Kill". Tempest with the band members focused on guitars and that’s why they got my highest note for the coolest remix on the CD coming along with edgy guitar riffs. The remixing system amongst the industrial music musicians has been spreading wide in the market for over the last few years but I do not like this approach, especially if it touches both poor remixes and big bands doing nothing new just getting stuck with the remixes or covers. On the other hand, quite unexpected results can be heard with the occasion of the remixes (Joachim Witt’s remix already mentioned above) and determine whether or not the band managed it good, how much own ideas they put to the song and whether the final result recalls the original song. That approach is still popular because allows to shine less known teams as well. This CD could be directed first to people who like dancing in the electro rhythms, then to fans of remixes and sounds based equally on dynamic beats and metal-sounding guitars.
