MP3: Autodafeh - Stompers
I'm kind of obsessed with this song right now. It's not new, but it's new to me and I stumbled across it while falling down an extended EBM wormhole in my possibly misguided attempt to investigate new Swedish music of that genre. I say "misguided" because as much as I enjoy this stuff when it's done well, so so so SO much of it is absolute garbage and I've been let down too many times. Then there's the fact that if you get too self-conscious about how truly goofy this stuff can be -- for instance, I can think of at least three tunes that rip off Front 242's bounty hunter motif in their classic "Headhunter" -- it's very easy to write it off, but let's not go there. It's aggressive dance music, you should expect a certain amount of lunkheadedness. Autodafeh go the extra mile by demanding you to MOVE. The rhythmic heavy breathing is the icing on the cake. Turn it up and pretend you're this guy.
