Direct from the um… fingers? of K.M.F.D.M about the Preorder status of their new upcoming album Brimorium!

“Last chance!  For Domestic US orders for Brimborium items from the KMFDM Store to be guaranteed to arrive by street date (Tuesday, February 19th) they must be ordered by Midnight TONIGHT, Thursday, February 14th.  All Preorders placed after that time and all International Preorders are guaranteed to ship by street date at the latest.

- Thanks K.M.F.D.M.”

Hurry and get on their Preorder list BEFORE it passes so you can boast “HEY! I got this before anyone else in town!” The Preorder has three different choices, you can get just the Brimorium shirt, just the CD, or you can get the CD & Shirt Bundle package. Whatever you choose, you won’t regret it.

As Always, Here is A Fix.

I know I am picky about what makes a music video worth sometimes time, even if it is only less than 5 minutes long, but damnit, if you tried showing this music video to your grandparents they’d probably go into shock and have the same face most industrial lovers have when watching this poorly created video; “The what the hell does this have to do with ANYTHING?!” look.

Through out the entire song, he’s holding a remote, and I’m thinking, what the hell does that have to do with the song in any way? Is he pissed there is nothing on? Does he secretly want to be a television producer? Where the beer in his left? I was half expecting for one of the other bandmates to serve him a damn pot-pie with an apron on. The second thing that seems just thrown in there was the hand clawing at the television screen. It brings back memories of the movie “Poltergeist”. That movie was alright and yes, it did scare the crap out of me as a child but it still held little to no value on the song.

This music video had so much potential considering the lyrics are decent and a music video would have helped clarify more meaning behind the song. Great Job on dropping the ball in your court mates…

I’m sure all you industrial and EBM fans have heard of the Fxxk The Mainstream Volume 1 CD… Unfortunately my brother has the CD and heh, I’m glad it stays in his car. Though it does have a lot of decent songs, the overall diversity and flow of the CD needed to have a lot more thought put into it. I recently came across a review from ReGen Magazine one this particular let down of what they deem to be a CD.

The reviewer is that of Damon Wilson and here is a quick excerpt on the review:

“Since priority was given to VampireFreaks.com member bands, it is a little surprising that the box set Fxxk the Mainstream does not have more of a grassroots/independent feel. The inclusion of tracks that were not ether previously unreleased or at least remixed for this compilation reeks of repackaging just for the sake of marketing. Worst yet is the obviously “mainstream commercial” packaging the music has been wrapped in. What could possibly be more mainstream than including a pamphlet with models decked out in what is undoubtedly clothing available for purchase at the VampireFreaks.com online store by the same name as the box set? The title would more aptly be “F**ked by the Mainstream.” That there is genuinely interesting music on any of the discs is without a doubt thanks solely to the artists who lovingly and – more than likely – obsessively strive to scream with their own voices. For the sake of much needed exposure, they risk being marginalized into the mainstream by those less concerned with art and more concerned with trying to sell a subculture.”

Klayton

First place was the As Ember mix by Brent Young. A hard-hitting industrial mix full of searing synth manipulations amid fields of ambient bass pads, it’s no wonder this mix won first place, bearing only the slightest resemblance to the original song while staying true to the elements that made “Frozen” so appealing in the first place.

Second place belongs to Copy Paste Repeat’s remix. This remix contains a bombard of caustic break-beats stipulated with vocal glitches that can send many drum & bass fans into a rabid, arm raising frenzy.

Third place went to Skeel’s Mass Panic mix. Ilker Yücel of ReGen Magazine states that Skeel’s remix “recreates the song with an epic heavy metal guitar leads, classically-inspired synth arpeggios, and glitch-laden vocals; if this is an indication of Skeel’s own work, then fans of industrial metal and even progressive metal would do well to check this artist’s original material out.”

Actually, there is no Rivethead unfriendly setting. Any place that seems culturally stable and has only a handful of Marilyn Manson worshipers to its name is ripe to be shattered by a fierce individualist such as yourself. In this portion of the course we will discuss how to safely and effectively scare an entire population of those “normal folks.”

Let’s take school, for example. High school is the best place to launch a full-force Rivethead campaign. People scare easily, and those who aren’t scared will worship you and your deviant ways NOTE: Once this number of people increases beyond two, you better move on. The more people there are like you, the more likely one of them will try to overthrow you… damn puberty.

The first day you enter such a setting, bring it full force. How you dress will play a big impact on your success and failure. (Next Monday will have a “How To Dress” follow up.) Remember to stride into class with a t-shirt of the most unheard-of band you can think of, preferably one with blatant obscenity all over it (good examples are the “I DON’T FUCKING CARE” Acumen Nation shirt or the EAT SHIT YOU FUCKING REDNECK” Pigface shirt.)

If you are accosted by any “higher” authority, simply threaten them with either bodily harm or a legal action for infringing on your rights. (Legal threats are less likely to get you detention and school counseling time, but remember that punk chick is in there almost every day plus detention is fun, too.)

Keep in mind that the dress code was made to be obliterated and challenged so thus, it is your right to tell people to fuck off. Wearing sunglasses constantly for no apparent reason is also a great way to “Keep it industrial”. Tell people the light hurts your eyes, even if it’s the cloudiest day in history. Respond to any vampire jokes with a hiss or offer to drink their blood. If the harassing individual is an ugly female, tell her you’d rather die of thirst than drink her blood or use any other clever remark to remind her makeup does work.

Always presenting your appearance with your highest ability will reinforce your elite industrialness, even if you are not learning anything in class, I.E. gym class. If you actually want to learn something, develop alternative “study” methods like paying attention with your eyes closed, fake eyes drawn on your eyelids are optional. If you have the sunglasses, turn your head away from the person presenting the material or board and watch out the corner of your eye.

You can also draw seemingly meaningless violent images in your notebooks which, known only to you, contain better study material than anyone else’s notes. If this doesn’t work try tape recording the class. Too much work? Hey, you thought alienating yourself from your peers would be easy? Douche.

Next up Part 2… COLLEGE!!!

(This is just fun and games, if taken literally, use at your own risk. I.A. is not responsible for any individual(s) or can be held accountable for these actions. Results will vary.)

For some reason I have been on a De\Vision kick for the past week. The songs are so addicting and it is very hard to explain why. Perhaps it just “That Time of Year Again”, or maybe it’s because the band just rocks.

This song was from their earlier days (the 80’s) but it shows the same De\Vision you hear today though with more of the hair band touch; especially the music video. Feel free to sing with this daunting and hypnotic beat and give some feedback in this elder band!

“Give me your bright white eyes that I might see
The blindness of a narrow minded flea
We cannot bridge the distance
Don’t get to close to me
How deep you must fall down to understand
That selfishness is always built on sand
Waiting for the impact
You got nothing to defend

I’m happy with you happy with you night and day
I feeling with you bleeding with you anyway
I can see no reaction
It’s a strange affection

I’m serving you I’m serving you as I prey
I’m leaving you deceiving you not today
I can feel no reaction
What a strange affection

I’m trapped within a maze of lies and fake
Don’t have the strength to speak to fight or hate
I hang in doubt my head is cramped
Why did we seek the end?

I’m happy with you happy with you night and day
I feeling with you bleeding with you anyway
I can see no reaction
It’s a strange affection

I’m serving you I’m serving you as I prey
I’m leaving you deceiving you not today
I can feel no reaction
What a strange affection

I can feel no reaction
It’s a strange affection

I can feel no reaction
It’s a strange affection…”
