Year after year, music is not only changing because it wants to, but also because people demand it to. Hip – Hop wasn’t as prevalent sounding as it was in the past. This so because society demanded a new form of it and the hip hop found today is the outcome.  

The same goes for industrial. Too many rivitheads and industrialists are clinging to the old form and not accepting the new. This is unfair to not only the bands that are coming out, but too many people who wish to find information and new bands in this great genre.

Why many people do this, I have no idea. Perhaps they are leaving their comfort zone if they accept bands like Covenant or Combichrist as Industrial. Maybe they are just having trouble knowing that they are growing older with each passing year and the fact that industrial music doesn’t sound the same as it used to. Maybe that is breaking their hearts. The worst part of it could be the fact that these people just aren’t considerate or even wise enough to understand that nothing stays the same forever and are having trouble letting go.  

Whatever the reason maybe, these people need to quit while they are ahead and stop trying to ruin something that is good, just because they aren’t able to comprehend what is going on. I’m not dissing or trying to bad mouth these people in anyway, but what I am saying is simply this.

LOOSEN UP. IT’S MUSIC.

Music is meant to be enjoyed by all. Industrial doesn’t have to be your preferred genre, and no one is saying it has to be. No one is also saying that just because these newer bands do not sound like the older bands that they are NOT industrial.

The fact is they are. Combichrist, Cruxshadows, Covenant, VNV Nation (YES I SAID IT), and the newer F.L.A and Front 242 are IN FACT, industrial. That is where they have their inspiration and that is their sound. It is okay to choose not to accept them as industrial, but to say they are in no way shape or form industrial is just rude. Please people; don’t ruin something so good for others due to being biased.

Alright now people, what do you call something you can’t hold, are only able to get it by buying it, and are able to listen to it. No, it’s not a hooker. BAD PEOPLE! It’s the new Apoptygma Berzerk CD!

The only sad part is it’s a digital download. So for all you people who have a addiction for plastic, best get a CD burner if you don’t already have one. Now as far as the songs go for the new contemplation release Soli Deo Gloria that is due to digitally release on September 4^th of 2007 is great. Their sample of Burnin’ Heretic gives of that eerie “Twilight Zone” feeling and coupled with the Stephan Groth’s melancholy voice, the song makes it so you can’t help but turn up and nod your head to the beat.  

Now as for their song Bitch well, you can’t help but love it. I mean the song name is great as is. No, it’s not a cover of Alan Morsetts song either, sorry ladies. With all that said and done, when the CD digitally airs, get your card ready and download this new album and enjoy it. On a side note, though this is a new album to air, it is being brought out from a debut album from metropolis-records.
