Music reviews of Today We Are All Demons
Music Review: Combichrist continues to hone a winning recipie.
Rating: 4 Stars
Combichrist makes super-aggressive, pounding electronic music, incorporating elements from industrial, electro, EBM, and other electronic dance forms. This album doesn't alter Combichrist's basic recipe from previous releases. Most of the sounds and concepts are extensions of those used on previous albums. But to me, that doesn't matter in the least. The album sacrifices innovation for quality: every song is good, many are great. This solid cd further cements Combichrist's status as one of the pillars of contemporary dark electronic music.
Combichrist's vocals are not like typical "hellektro" vocals. They are naturalistic- not processed through a vox machine. In that sense they hearken back to old-school industrial or even punk such as Black Flagg or maybe proto-industrial like Big Black.
There are significant differences between Combichrist and "hellectro/dark electro" such as Suicide Commando or Hocico. One of Combichrist's major contributions to the genre is the injection of a healthy dose of irony into a field which takes itself quite seriously. There is rage and fury, but it is married to a lampooning and a wink and nod toward the excesses of that fury: BDSM, blood and guts, killing, etc., are all used with a clever combination of pure feeling vs. gleeful irony. Combichrist is FUN and FUNNY, qualities that make it completely unique in the world of hard electronics/industrial dance.
From the first sample which opens the album, a answering machine message left by an idiotic-sounding dude on his way to jail asking to be bailed out, to the female vocals that lace a lot of the songs - a whiny and pissed off sounding chick who apes and eggs on the vocalist like a 1940's gangster's moll, to more wacky samples such as a robo-Asian voice repeating "my grandma gives good head!" over and over, there's a slapstick element to this music that allows you to feel the rage and laugh at yourself at the same time.
In summary, this is another great release from a master of the genre with a unique style.
For those looking for more of the humorous side of Combichrist, the side project Scandy is a winner. A little lighter sound, and Andy doesn't sing very much- mostly instrumentals and some of those same kooky female vocals. Check it out.
Description of Today We Are All Demons
Combichrist mastermind Andy LaPlegua has once again expanded on the beat driven, hook-laden evil electro found on "What The Fuck Is Wrong With You People?" From the opening notes of the driving "All Pain Is Gone" and the sleazy, punk grooves of "Kickstart The Fight" to the techno body music-tinged beats of "Get Out Of My Head" and the darkly introspective title track, "Today We Are All Demons" proves that Combichrist is a force to be reckoned with.Alternative Rock CDs
