SPK - SLOGUN

[FreeArtFreestheWorld]

Anyone have the full lyrics? Thanks.

[redwraith122]

Music grows, music splinters off, and then grows some more. Alot like the branches of a tree.

[tomericksontomb]

Rubbish should Picasso have stayed forever blue? St peters brickworks a night to cherish but the Cruel sea's first albumn before it got infected by Tex Perkins is a gem put it on and hit the open road.

[FreeArtFreestheWorld]

Such a shame that none of the band members made anything even close to this. Usually when bands split and form other bands the sound is similar such as GYBE led to A Sliver Mount Zion and GNR lead to Velvet Revolver and etc.

This is just incredible.

[darksec123]

SPK. das war mal n projeckt.psychisch kranke und manisch depressive. mit spastisch kranken zu mischen. das war in den 80ern. ne echte nummer.

die mukke war dem entsprechend..

[poowooh1]

ls that "music"? Cause personally l think that's just some noise. ^^

[GARIJPUNQ]

@poowooh1 ... hmmm,noise?music? this is both!.. noise is music to some ears & vice versa,maybe your just not feeling the burning rage & frustration & menace spewing from this 'noise',the sheer beauty of this song lies in its overwhelming bulldozing full frontal attack on the senses,it's pulsating violence,it's desperation,all flung at you like napalm.. it stick,it burns,it scars... it's perfect. shame you dont feel the heat.

[thesonski93]

@poowooh1 The genre of this band is industrial noise art lol :P

[misterbn]

@poowooh1 That's precisly the concept. It's noise music

[Biliunas93]

WE WILL WIN!

[TLACATECUHTLI88]

FUCK THE WORLD!

[pawelrussland]

i love it :D

[JewishChickenburger]

ACID

[Gekneveld]

Brutal.

Modern stuff sounds not quite as intense.

(Understatement....)

Love it.

[sabalouie2000]

@Gekneveld  The original shit man.

[charlieshakeview]

Yep, That's one of the best Industrial songs ever.

[freq32]

one of the best industrial songs ever.

[spartanstoiker]

Sick like the world. Perfect receipt for genesis in your head.

[MrBloodyhippy]

A good program! Achieving this with digital means on a computer program! lol. know the music know the gear. look at what they were using at the time mono synths, looped reel to reel magnetic tape, ring modulators and heavily treated guitars. a little tip try running analogue synths through analogue guitar pedals and piggy back multible amps. even better use guitar amps. filthy sound.

[TheCaptainLulz]

Anyone here know of a good program for making this stuff?

[sangieredwolf]

@TheCaptainLulz A broken TV, a couple insane old people shouting, and randomly banging on an old drum set.

[TheCaptainLulz]

@sangieredwolf could work, but theyd have to be completely batshit insane and I cant know what they will do next.

[TheEzioo]

@TheCaptainLulz Just buy a recorder and a distortion unit.. and download audacity.

[TheCaptainLulz]

@TheEzioo Thanks, gonna try that.

[YouFailedAgain]

@TheCaptainLulz

EMS synthesizers. But unless you are rich and can find one you gotta experiment with other stuff

[deadvex]

there is bands out there like this, you just gotta look really hard. p.s they arent very popular, fuck it. i love it.

[nippa59]

Astonishing. Huge. Beautifully f%#ked up

[Pedossaurus]

This is nuke... Above this only desintegration rays (wich doesn't exist yet)

[frankkubb]

beautiful chaos..power tools..EPIC!

[clancy2k]

Holy mother of fuck, this is amazing

[UkyoTheVultureBeast]

I've listened to this 1 month ago, then I tought: "mmh, this sound interesting! It's a raw pioneristic approach to Industrial music... quite good!"

then I listened to it once more the next day.

Suddently, tonight, while I was walking to a party with my friends, I realize that "I MUST LISTEN SLOGUN AGAIN!!!"

THAT'S FUCKING VIRAL!!!!

AND I'M A METALHEAD!

[32trip]

This is fanfuckingtastic!

[Atraiterm]

This is INTENSE. Whatever happened to Industrial music? Did its balls drop off?

It wouldn't surprise me if todays "Industrial" AKA EBM music goes the same way that hip-hop did, and sells out worse than NIN or Manson ever did.

[FoetalSpace]

@Atraiterm It stopped being experimental.

[FoetalSpace]

@Atraiterm it became polished, profitable and easy to make.

[TheDragonbuster100]

@Atraiterm NIN is awesome. Fuck you.

[brandoncipelle]

@realmalmac I'm sorry mate You are not crap. You should get some innner peace ;0)

[realmalmac]

what a crap ..

[r00ksy]

fekin awesome

[malonemuert]

5 people are clearly just stupid

[Jortopia]

@malonemuert

Agreed!

[Jak00125]

This music makes me want to chainsaw-rape a statue of jesus then play with remote control cars strapped with animal carcasses while I watch Mondo films!

[smileyvigilante333]

@Jak00125 damn lol flippytized

[YouFailedAgain]

@Jak00125

Do it record it and upload it!

[YouFailedAgain]

@Jak00125

Do it record it and upload it!

[IndustrialMilitia]

@Jak00125 Amen to that

[v4lds4mtmotst4nd]

[16NostalgicdreamS]

What an amazing piece of history!!

[p3rfilbaj0]

de la puta madre.. q musica............

[EddieVIII]

oh dearest god, don't even CLAIM to be an electronic music fan without knowing this group. as good as it gets --- why is it good? NOISE EXECUTED WITH PERFECT MUSICAL TASTE

[harryarchiegus]

Daft Punk 'Homework' sample buried in there.

SPK! First listen equals love.

[JuanNoise74]

Way ahead of their time!!!!!!! SPK!!! SPK!!! SPK!!! SPK!!! I love this NOISE!!! Why the hell did Graeme Revell turn it into dance shit in the mid eighties??? SPK!!! SPK!!! SPK!!! THERAPY THROUGH VIOLENCE!!!

Greets from Lima, Perú.

[wheelworker1]

spk blows away throbbing gristle...

[orsaandy1]

brings inner peace :):):):):):):):):):):):)

[Deeforcer]

Hey, I made a video response and also a dedicated video to this Band. Why didn't you except my video as video response?

watch?v=s70ryc0bh3g

[above in the link bar (just follow your strazz!)]

[Deeforcer]

Also: someone said "industrial music" to -this-

It is STRAZZ. Here you have industrial music:

watch?v=5Yw7UvcHQnA

Here you have machine music:

watch?v=NsL32y--h00

[OldWalter]

this sounds intresting

[sonicjay007]

wish i could find my copy of this..in this untidy place..

[enenuru]

great song!

[7375U0]

CAMARADES OUVRIERS. CONTRE LES PROVOCATIONS. NOTRE ARME: PLUSIEURS. CONTRE LES DEFAITISTES ET LA CAPITULATION. POUR LA SATISFACTION DE TOUTES LES REVENDICATIONS. REJOIGNONS NOTRE POST DE COMBAT CONTRE LE CAPITAL. ORGANISONS L'AUTODEFENSE. NOUS VAINCRONS.

WE WILL WIN.

i just wonder why ther wright it in French, SPK was a German group and those guys are Austrian or English, and it has been recorded in London...

[Arathnis]

@7375U0 The French section is probably a nod or direct reference to Action Directe, a communist terrorist organization in France.

[ZiddanSleaze]

Fukking love this Band... so sweet and chaotic :D

[Bitteulze]

Shit, I think my ears just fell off.

[stayelusive]

I love this so much. Industrial to me will always mean Einsturzende, throbbing gristle and SPK. I was lucky enough to have dipped my toes in noise before industrial, so I was exposed to this stuff first. It generated excitement for me, of this genre called industrial that was everything I dreamed of in music. Sadly, industrial is one of the worst genres around, none of it sounds like this. It's all just really bad goth electronic music. BRING THIS SHIT BACK, we need to bring back real industrial

[industrymonkey]

@stayelusive Power Electronics is still alive and well if your into that really harsh industrial.

[gombie]

@industrymonkey

I like the old industrial alot, but the newer industrial bands considered power electronics doesn't interest me at all. I haven't heard a single good song from them. And they aren't appealing like the old bands with ideas and art.

[SingeTheBand]

never mind i fucking love this dont change a ting 

[SingeTheBand]

i am new to this industrial stuff, i like it, i have been listening to nine inch nails for a long time now so i decided to take a look at this. the only thing is i wish it had some heavier drumms, i think that would make it a bit more in your face you know what i mean?

[stinkymouser]

its funny that most people now who are into Wumpscut et al don't know the difference between EBM and Industrial.

[enfore]

Industrial classic

We are not worthy...

[nevadaborealis]

I miss this kind of experimentation. Graeme Revel is a film soundtrack composer now that everyone has heard - his career started with noise and my ears, among others

[yoyojumpy]

This is the result of leaving a 56k modem in the microwave

[wiffdude]

VOTE EVERYBODY UP!!!!

[glitchdragonhero]

this is the shit almost a cool as de form videos. I take that back this is the shit. fucking uber industrial music this is the real deail.

[Caiolambofgod]

BEAUTIFUL !

[Borjagonzalo123]

@clumpft who cares?

[clumpft]

@Borjagonzalo123 Who cares? Who cares about you taking the time to post "who cares" stupid dickhead. 

[LemovFijasko33]

Excellent song.

[uberalles2]

surgical penis clinic or system planning corporation?

[Hamishtarah]

Echt Geil!!! Diese Musik ist Leben!

[MadeToBeGray]

I wish more artists these days had the balls these guys had to do what they did and take noisy industrial (or any genre for that matter, adding noise to it of course) to the next level. Honestly, this is the shit.

[ProfessorLoco]

There will be no violence....OK!!!

[Crijevo]

@ProfessorLoco actually, it's "Therapy Through Violence" - it's the 'slogan' :)

[xinx56]

"Leichenschrei" is probably still one of my all time favorites.Makes me sad i don't have all my vinyl anymore.

[ctspf]

Excellent piece and excellent video. Thanks for posting it!

Let me ask you a question. The video says that Ne/h/il committed suicide in 1979, but on the back cover of the "Leichenschrei" CD it clearly says that he was still a member of the band (and this album was recorded in 1981). Is there something wrong?

[renr17]

@ctspf I've actually researched that and asked many users and had long conversations about the actual date of Nehil's death. Graeme Revell contradicts himself on the date in interviews so it's hard to determine when Nehil really died.

[earx23]

wow.

[SyndromRecordsVideo]

Good early material.

[destroyxtradition]

dude, this is AMAZING

more music needs to be like this, seriously

[grodock19]

one of the best old school industrial songs

[FOIIAD]

love spk but nowadays the term industrial get's even more abused then the punk

[InsaneJericho66]

@FOIIAD: no fuckin' shit

[zuton100]

were gabba comes from

[sandmanbethere]

Where has the rawness and grit gone from industrial these days :/ SPK ftw!

[erectacocky]

REAL. FUCKING. INDUSTRIAL.

[davidvirginvideo]

It's great to see the early SPK recordings are still creating intrest after 30 years, all the very best to you, David Virgin.

[eeayt]

crazy stuff.

[fritzo62]

I can't believe this was recorded in 1979... this is one of the most awesome records i ever heard.... o.O

[TheVladimirMumbo]

The true rage of the machine!!!

[urvil]

industrial music did not sound this way before slogun, and it never sounded this way after. what a shame.

[sangieredwolf]

@urvil There was never industrial before Slogun XD

[violentinthedark23]

thanx for posting these informations n recordings.

[Innos92]

great!

[7375U0]

remind me of Throbbing Gristle's "Heathen Earth"

when machines and men go MAD

[GARIJPUNQ]

[tadaosato]

Information overload unitと比べると初期は以外？とバンド色の強いサウンドだった­んですね。

[renr17]

Industrial at it's finest. True pioneers...along with TG which also just FASCINATE me in their diversity with entertainment at their own respective description.

[pelscore]

so sick stuff

[XMxOxRxSX]

i'm wondering what's wrong with birmingham

black sabbath / led zeppelin

napalm death-> scorn and godflesh

and many others

i think that that town is a sick place where to live

[7375U0]

@XMxOxRxSX : you forgot Anaal Nathrakh \o/

[renr17]

There's More Sekret Sekret Here Than SPK.

[jpascalj]

i bought that vinyl at 14 back in 89...

my parents were in "despair"... still love it...still amazed...

[Leitmotivation]

SPK OK

[mysterymusicdude]

fantastic

[MagnitudePerson]

I fucking love what they did!

I prefer their future-development version(which they pionnerd)style off Industria

[MarilynMansonDark]

LOL i-wie cooll

[eredarss]

Respect From ROMANIA!!!

[davidvirginvideo]

Thanks for putting up the first SPK recordings

all the Best ,, David,,, SPK

[SonicAnnihilator]

heard a lot about SPK, wanted to give it a try...

...better than what I expected!!!

[YouFailedAgain]

While most people may listen to this with discomfort and find it ugly and unpleasant, it's like a mental orgasm to me

[FeralBeast666]

Beauty in the grotesque is one of my favorite things. :)

[gerorism]

what a lame ass poser cunt

[FeralBeast666]

I'm not posing in any way. What's your problem, you stupid fucking asshole?

[gombie]

Poser and untrue-terms are fucking gay, and metal.

Who ever you called a poser... You're one.

[gerorism]

right. i forgot industrial is not about posing. there is not such thing as posing in industrial, because industrial people are above other pathetic genres of music. to sum up, fuck you. as long as people exist, followers exist, everything is posing.

[Rowenx6]

How did you get this? The albums are very expensive.

[jamschnitter]

mute came out with a 2007 printing of Auto Da Fe which has all but one of the 1979 recordings I think, so it probably cost like 15 USD

[Rowenx6]

Oh, okay. Thanks for the correction.

[jamschnitter]

I just found this out but someone came out with a printing on vinyl of all their earlier works I think the label is in europe and called Vinyl On Demand, if you follow the links from wiki to the home page of spk you should be able to find it and maybe order it though it will run you like 100 Euro @.@

[Rowenx6]

Ah! This band is pretty secluded. I hardly know anything about it, other that they make quite good music. 100 Euro? Wow.

[gombie]

Try getting original Coil-records... They came with artifacts... And costs back in the days 50 £ maby more.. nowadays, maby 100 €''s or pounds..

[YouFailedAgain]

Vinyl-on-demand released an 800 copies SPK box set which contains old stuff that had only been released on tape as well as some live stuff and their first 3 7". It's sold out long time ago and now runs 2nd hand for about the double price... Their albums have not been re-released on vinyl

[clumpft]

aah at last! the REAL SHIT - and not the awful commercial dance CRAP I had to wade through first. It's amazing how bands can be so awesome or so awful depending on the stage of their career.

[Merzbowxnoise]

SPK rules!!!

[IchbinSchalker]

Man, this is fucking good! I like SPK very much.

[ghostalks]

SPK SPK SPK SPK SPK SPK! O.K!
