SPK - Will to Power (La Edad de Oro - TVE - 1983)

A finales de los 70, un celador de un psiquiátrico australiano y uno de sus pacientes decidieron unirse para dar rienda suelta a sus obsesiones, sus paranoias y su visión sociopática de la realidad.

Así nació SPK, uno de los grupos-germen del primer y más genuino Industrial. Algún tiempo después un tal Genesis P-Orridge se los trajo a Europa para pervertir la acomodada psique occidental.

Con el paso del tiempo, las formaciones fueron variando (con suicidio incluido) y el celador (Graeme Revell) fue abandonando sus experimentos ruidistas y subversivos para ir adoptando una actitud más pop, más comercial. A finales de los 80 el grupo se disolvió y Revell comenzó a hacer dinero en el mundo de las bandas sonoras hollywoodienses.

Kill, kill, kill for inner peace!! Kill, kill, kill for mental health!!

SPk were anarcho nihilistic stuff. La Edad de Oro was a great spanish tv program, shame Einsturzende Neubauten never were invited.

Many popular bands sported racist symbols and lyrics, mostly to 'shock' audiences. It's not a big deal.

@DrClash loved this music though. I also listened 2 bands like Joy Division, Siouxsie & Banshees, Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, The Neon Judgment, Einstürzende Neubauten, Sisters of Mercy, Anne Clarke, Clan of Xymox, Legendary Pinkdots & a lot more and I stíll listen 2 that music. Dont mind what I wrote before, that was more about the time I lived in, when this music was in (80's). There were a lot of neo-nazi bands and some only used parts of it, like Laibach or nazi-punks like The Exploited.

@TheGreatEcstasy Laibach did have a swastika on the album, 'cause I have it, sorry but I don't see 4 axes in it. But the piece I wrote about the war was just about bands that used nazi-lyrics, SPK didn't. I loved their music, especially In Flagrante Delicto (oh Maria, Oh Maria......great voice and music, almost as if you're in church, loved it!!)

Amo esta etapa de la banda, este programa tenia muy buen contenido, el mensaje es contundentemente único y excelente.

Not every band needs to talk about puppies and teenage romance. There is other stuff going on in the world. Not talking about it or evoking it won't make it go away.

One of the best live bands ever!
