MP3: Brighter Death Now - Testing
New mp3 today from Brighter Death Now. No, I'm not trying to atone for last week's A-ha post, but I do admit that it's quite a contrast. BDN's skull-rattling throb is about as far away from pop as you can get. Which is not to say that you can't enjoy both - I had 'em on shuffle in my car over the weekend and had nary a problem. But enough of my jabbering, this post belongs to Simon Thibaudeau:
Roger Karmanik has been doing noise, or power electronics as he likes to call it, since the early eighties. Since then, his vision never wavered: Creating challenging music for the forward thinking mind. With the harsh debuts of Lille Roger to diverse Brighter Death Now, his violent and dark world has evolved and refined to the point where now, Roger Karmanik is a cult figure in the genre. His frustration in releasing music lead to the creation of Cold meat Industry records, a label that has concentrated on various denominations of Swedish dark electronic artists, since 1987. Although the label did a few forays in Norway and created sublabels for international artists, the base of this operation has been Sweden and the artists that adhere to his vision. The quality of the music released is such that I would gladly take a subscription to his label to get everything he releases. Anyway, here is a song off his latest record as Brighter Death Now, "Kamikaze kabaret". "Testing" has more crossover appeal than anything he released in my opinion, at least the music I have heard. Enjoy this song from a master of noise.

MP3: Randy - I don't need love
Randy has a new album that just came out, but I'm not going to post a track from it. It's not because it isn't great, because it is (Simon Tagestam reviewed it m/index.php?article=104">here), but instead I'm going to reminisce about the record that got me into the band: 2001's "The human atom bombs". Every couple years or so, just about when I'm about to totally give up on punk-rock, along comes a record that breathes new life into the genre. Refused did it to me in the late 90s and Randy did it again with this record. It's not even that they were doing anything all that original - it's that they were doing it with such enthusiasm and vitality that it was impossible not to stand up and take notice. "The human atom bombs" is fun and funny, energetic and entertaining and just all around amazing. So here's a track from that record that'll hopefully help brighten up your Friday.
