They were socialists punks & goths from east germany who would regularly get in fights with reactionaries in their youth??? I genuinely did not see this coming. Maybe it would have been obvious if I spoke german but I don’t and I am shocked. Genuinely expected chud behavior
Professional Killer and Bloodsport are in my top 10 honestly
I always loved Dis-O-Bedience too. The prechorus horn riff into the chorus guitar riffs hit just right. There’s a horn solo too, which having horns in an industrial rock song rules. I love interesting instrument comboes, like how Trent Reznor started working his sax playing in to newer NIN works
I didn’t realize that was Trent’s sax work, like on “God Break Down the Door”?
Yeah that’s him! He’s always been able to play sax since his school years in marching band; but I guess he just never felt like it ‘fit’ anywhere in earlier NIN. He also played it some in Hesitation Marks too, in the outro of While I’m Still Here (that song destroys me) and did so on the live tour for it.
