Reaver - Apocalypse Yesterday (Harsh EBM, Dark Electro, Aggrotech)

[CanadianBibleBasher]

ive been in to Metal ever since i was 3 when heard enter sandman on the radio, then many many moons ago i heard about industrial....now i have a tattoo of a gear wit a pentagram in it with the Combichrist CC on the sides and my very own phrase around it that says"I'll be your unwilling human slave if you be my German Robot Master"

[xXxAmbErcr0mbiExXx]

F***ing Eargasmic!!! <3

[StaySic4Ever]

id like to find this kinda music without vocals since I don't like any vocals in electro music :)

[Bas2thesem]

My copy of Eternal Psychonaut went missing last year. Pissed.

[esoterick0201]

@arcanequake Not sure if trolling, but Nitzer Ebb, Front 242, Skinny Puppy, and others were doing EBM/Industrial music long before euphoric trance and happy house existed. Maybe you should go back to wasting your life away on MMOs.

[ninjaspiceattacks]

@arcanequake i think euphoric trance and house musicians already ruin it for themselves. also, you are completely missing the point. aggrotech is not depressive, whining. it's angry raging. and people who listen to screamo listen to screamo, not aggrotech. it's cyberpunks and rivetheads that listen to aggrotech.

[machopi]

@arcanequake Enjoy your AIDS buddy.

[redwraith122]

@arcanequake No one gives a shit about your Nazi tribalism shit dude.

[captaincap96]

not my fav. i need a harsher base and a better voice. like if you agree and reply with ur favorite Aggrotech song to help educate me.

[jetstar18x]

aggrotech combines the two best elements of music... metal and techno

[Ghostblood1334]

Metal and industrial go hand and hand. Just like what Mortiis, Theater of Tragedy and Samsas Traum, they convert into industrial. Vise virsa when Psyclon Nine and Dawn of Ashes of Ashes when they incorporated more metal into their music.

[KalteTrost]

If you like harsh EBM and metal, check out Psyclon Nine, specifically Scar of the Deceiver. Good stuff!

[VikingGe]

i see, it's normal that metalheads like aggrotech xD

reminds me of dawn of ashes somehow, great stuff.

[AngryKhan]

As far as metal goes, aggrotech reminds me of mors principium est alot.

[pandagoth]

I like aggro, and I like BM, but I can dance to this, I can't really dance to BM =\

[KalteTrost]

@pandagoth Have you ever seen anyone dancing to black metal? The closest thing to dancing in that scene is running in circles, shoving and punching. I don't think that could really be called "dancing", but hey, they all seem to enjoy it.

[BlackMetalerWolf]

@KalteTrost Of course, headbanging!!! Plus most bands don't even play live.

[KalteTrost]

@BlackMetalerWolf Ha ha, true enough. Probably good that they don't, there'd be too many casualties. Metal shows: Probably the only place you'll see a guy covered in his own blood, holding his broken glasses, and still having a great time.

[panzerfavst]

Yep, great fan of black metal myself. This runs along the same veins as BM emotionally.

[kegs666]

Is it possible to buy this album as a CD and not digital download?

[Braleven]

I hate some of this ravey glowstick-up-my-ass music that is blending into rivethead culture. (Such as X-Rx) Industrial dancing turned into less stomping angry bullshit to pretty organized ravey arm flailing crap.

As the other whiney musical douche bags say: This genre is dead.

[exactinmidget92]

i love Black Metal and will never trade it but when it comes to EBM and Aggrotech, and Industrial im in a whole different world. i wonder what would happen if the greatest bands of Black Metal and this type of music were to make an album.

Fuck it would be amazing

[BlackMetalerWolf]

@exactinmidget92 Have you heard of Alien Vampires? They're an industrial band however their themes are very anti-christian and the singer wears a glowing/pulsing futuristic inverted crucifix, they even have a song based on the suicide of Mayhem's and Morbid's original vocalist Per Yngve Ohlin. Just thought you might be interested.

[exactinmidget92]

@BlackMetalerWolf i'll check em out. due u know the name of the song?

[exactinmidget92]

@BlackMetalerWolf never mind, i have heard of them but along ago but thanks for reminding me about this group, band, artist? don't know what it is

[ninjaspiceattacks]

@BlackMetalerWolf you say "anti-christian" like it's a bad thing. it's a selling point!

i love alien vampires. my two favorite aggrotech groups at the moment are alien vampires and hocico.

[BlackMetalerWolf]

@ninjaspiceattacks Lol I didn't mean to make it sound like a bad thing (I'm atheist).

[spike4379]

now i love jazz and smooth jazz. but this.... this is.... sex music

[Menegroth11]

HoCICo<3 Saw them Live, were fuckin' brilliant.

[BlackMetalerWolf]

Hahaha same here guys :) I started of with SOAD and some AFI, then got into Iron Maiden, slowly but surely I started to get deeper into metal and become a true metalhead. I found my love and passion for underground black metal, I discovered the headbanging greatness of slamming brutal death metal. But then something happened, I began to like old synthpop/rock and gothic rock bands, and then I ran into EBM. Since then I like everything from black metal to EBM :) I like how we share the same views

[saikouxs100]

Still one of my favorite Reaver songs.

[Brosiris]

This song is now relevent.

[CosmicDestroyer99]

This is no dubshit..HAIL EBM/AGGROTECH

[retroEddz]

i have a band that does this kind of music. we're called Love in Vain and our genre is aggrotech + electro punk, but our song titles are unsuspecting and our lyrics are far from what most bands in the genre come up with. we have songs called "Birthday Cake", "The Most Wonderful Princess", "When Ponies Weep" etc and a lot of our songs are about fantasy and dreams. go figure, lol. i guess we really are the fags society calls rivet heads and cyber goths,

[noxis93]

This is the Viagra of music.

[kAsTa141]

Dubstep is way better !!!

[noxis93]

@kAsTa141 Dubstep has nothing with this you tit...It's like comparing pop to classical music...

[PhreakStep]

@kAsTa141

Dubstep?

Yes that is some real music

"boom wowowowowowow"

Its shit

Agrro, EBM, Industrial 4 eva

[TheTrancemaster90]

@PhreakStep Can't disagree!

[retroEddz]

@kAsTa141 fuck dub step. i like it, but its shit compared to aggrotech, ya whore. WHAHWHAHWHAHWOOWOWOWOWWGAGWGAG­WGA WAKW WAKA WAKW.. FUCK WOBBLES.

[kAsTa141]

@retroEddz yh keep selling urself

[retroEddz]

@kAsTa141 bitch, you cant afford my milshake

[kAsTa141]

@retroEddz I can't believe am listenin to someone who's got a band called love in vain ... with a song titled when ponies weep .. i mean can it get any worse?

[CosmicDestroyer99]

@retroEddz Ur comment made me fuckin LOL seriously XD

[Braleven]

@retroEddz Hahahaha, indeed my friend, fuck wobbles.

[kandixflipz]

i only had to listen til 1:30 and i was in love o.O

[daQMOZR]

I like the electro, but I can't understand what they're saying..

[WhisperdaleD]

This song converted me into a rivethead

[esoterick0201]

@WhisperdaleD Hell yeah! It's statements like that that motivate me to make this stuff!

[machopi]

@WhisperdaleD Welcome to the army,my brother.

[SubWoofer657]

I'm mostly into Death/ Melodic Metal... I found this about a year ago and its Become my favorite genre... Possible because the harsh Lyrics, plus i do try to give off the "VIBE" To my fellow peers at school as FUCK THE world and FUCK YOU :)

[esoterick0201]

@SubWoofer657 Yeah, I actually am a metal-head myself. But harsh EBM and industrial are my "go to" genres for electronic music. What can I say, I like intense and aggressive music :).

[GPurimu]

@esoterick0201 same here!

[MyWorstEnemy96]

@esoterick0201 Exactly same here. For example I listen to bands like Gorgoroth, Behemoth, Napalm Death etc. but some of my favorites aswell are Suicide Commando, God Module, Psyclon Nine, X-Fusion and Grendel.

[mami3790]

@SubWoofer657 what a coincidence! i'm a melodeath listener to i'm recently "converted" XD

[TheFinlandnator]

Weirdest thing... I listen to aggro, ebm and indrustial (all almost the same genre), but I can't stand death metal; actually, I barely like any kind of metal music at all. Maybe its the lack of heavy beat which you could dance to?

[esoterick0201]

@TheFinlandnator Hey. It's all a matter of taste. I think you are right. It is probably the heavy beat that draws you to aggrotech/ebm. Sorta like how its the harsh vocals that draws metalheads. As far as I'm concerned - any fan of EBM deserves respect!!

[Eugene7771000]

Great beats!!!

[tkemert20]

20,001 view get.

Great music btw, fucking love Aggrotech.

[deaimos]

love this song :D

[turtlelowry]

is this band from wetaskiwin??

[esoterick0201]

@turtlelowry No. We are from Virginia, US. If I'm not mistaken, there is a death metal band from Canada who also goes by "Reaver." Is that who you are thinking of?

[saikouxs100]

This IS THE END!

[ConradoThePirate]

This reminds me a little bit like a combination of newer Suicide Commando + Syncope era Tactical Sekt.  I like it a lot.

[Braleven]

People see electronic and metal and think they are completely different but black metal and aggrotech are pretty close, they have the same mood.

[MaggotWolf13]

@Braleven

Black metal is my imagination builder in many cases.

Aggrotech is like my inspiration to actually bring it to paper and pen.

Im thinking of taking classes specifically to create images to bring out what I see when I hear these things :D

[AndroxineVortex]

@Braleven except black metal is about forests XD

lol i love black metal

[DerFuhrerfurimmer]

@AndroxineVortex and satan... don't forget satan... the perfect black metal song would be about riding your skeletal horse through a forest and killing christians... after doing this you return to your long halls to drink mead

[kegs666]

@DerFuhrerfurimmer Best comment ever?

[kegs666]

@Braleven I agree. Oldschool BM is a lot darker for me though....more of a feeling of solitude, misanthropy and hatred.

[MyWorstEnemy96]

@Braleven And that's why I like 'em both a f*cking lot. lol

[Tyrlian]

I like this quite a bit. Who does the vocals, and are the lyrics on your other site?

[Taurean250]

dude this music effin rocks!!!

[Mad66Hatchet]

I'm reading some of the comments and i find it interesting that alot of us ame from the metal scene nd into this one. I'm the same way. You can Deff. see the comparison

[SEnigmaProductions]

@Mad66Hatchet Actually, I'm the exact OPPOSITE!! I went from EBM and aggrotech to industrial metal and whatnot. After that, I began listening to more heavy metal and industrial rock, but I still return to my old EBM roots every now and again.

But yeah, there really does seem to be s sort of "musical gateway" between EBM and heavy metal. You could say their interconnected in a way. :)

[danchewy2]

@Mad66Hatchet

yea man im a metalhead 2 ^^ industrial stems from metal, which branches into the MANY sub-genres like aggrotech, so your observation makes good sense :) im not into the dressing up and stuff but some of the music is epic

[IntoxicatedByBeauty9]

i think psyclon nine is better...for darker stuff but there new album is to metal and i dont like it...but this band is good too

[MrMansonRocks]

lovely.

[CadaverousLaceration]

Great to see music like this is still going....

[vood00killer]

i wish i could understand the lyrics lol

[MaydayCavalier]

REAVER FANS,

check out new edit of music video "choronzon" on my channel

thanks

[poiscindveinz]

good stuff thanks

[DunklerBlick]

yes this song is so beutyful sorry my english is terible i hope thats not the last viedeo from this band

[mizzrammstein]

cool song :D like it

[ritgrant]

still smells like victory

[edometal]

Great Song. Very very great.

[Ridley0342]

Greetings and thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :).

[esoterick0201]

Lulz, my bad, I replied using my friends account. -R.'.

[HELLRAISEROID]

What is this song a copy of , it sounds like Suicide Commando or Grendel, or God module.

[esoterick0201]

Its not a copy of any of those groups. It does use a phrygian mode, which is common in terror EBM music. Its also common in various metal sub-genres as well as in spanish guitar music.

[CadaverousLaceration]

Very good! You know your music theory well! I use Phrygian, Locrian and Harmonic minor exclusively for the very reasons you mentioned. Great track/upload by the way, thank you.

[esoterick0201]

Thanks man! Yeah, those are all great for darker music. I was in a black metal band playing guitar and keys and I used Locrian for a few songs. Got a nice menacing feel. Haven't tried it with my EBM project yet.

[CadaverousLaceration]

This is your project? VERY impressive, it's earned a place in my EBM/industrial/trance playlist!!! Funny about the black metal thing--I played death metal for nearly 20 years and most of my friends are in black metal or death metal bands. I got into electronic music and started doing cyber-metal, discovered that death metal will always create more bills than it pays!

[AnimusShadechild]

@CadaverousLaceration emb/industrial/trance. one of those seems out of place. lol.

[legnasin]

uh....NO!!! this shit sounds way better than the mainstream shit you hear!

[flytallerkin]

is the album free or do you have to pay for it? And I'll add you on MySpace :)

[esoterick0201]

Hey, thanks for the comment. Sorry for the delayed reply. The album is orderable through the label, Radio-Active-Music. I gotta eat :).

[esoterick0201]

Yeah, this is the final master that will appear on the CD. Though, the sound quality gets degraded when I upload to youtube also.

[gombie]

Is it just me or is there some difference between this and the one already released with that... Fusion thingie?
