Description
Nowadays, every other group in Central Europe boldly beats the drums and tells something sad and mournful, aiming for the territory of the popular martial industrial. However, in the 90s, the idea of making music in this vein occurred to far fewer people, and the In Slaughter Natives project is considered one of the pioneers of the genre. Its sound can already be recognized as classic: in addition to militarized percussion, you can often hear electronics that are heavy in spirit and atmosphere, gothic church chorales and some otherworldly voices, generously scattered here and there. Their third album, the 1992 album Sacrosancts Bleed, is one of their most offensive albums. Its evil and aggressive, emphasizing dark industrial elements such as hammer beats and noise rather than neoclassical elements. Lead man Jouni Havukainen had even written some death metal-like songs that he wanted to release, even though they didn’t quite fit in. He thought for a while about using a real guitar, but decided that a sampled ditto was a better fit. Just listen tot he opening track, Chaos Breeding, it features some heavy metal guitar work and wild percussion’s and an even wilder agonizing vocal work of frontman Havukainen. Sacrosancts Bleed is on a high level when it comes to dark ambient industrial music. This is intense and In Slaughter Natives sounds leaves no thoughts behind. This is not the kind of music Sweden is famous for. So if you want music to dance or/and sing to then try Abba. This is not music its an industrial ritual so be careful and be prepared.
