Description

Rare 2004 Cold Meat Industry pressing

In Slaughter Natives is a Swedish industrial, dark ambient act that was formed as early as 1985 by founder and main man Jouni Havukainen. Back in 1989 when they released their debut self titled album, as a limited cassette only, not many took notice. But history has given the band the credit they deserve. In Slaughter Natives are now seen upon as one of the pioneers in the symphonic industrial field. They were hugely influential in establishing the ‘Cold Meat Industry’ sound and more broadly the northern European industrial underground. Likewise in hindsight it can be acknowledged that In Slaughter Natives were a precursor the ‘martial industrial’ genre, although their trademark orchestral industrial doom has stood out from and has not been replicated by the majority of projects of a ‘martial industrial’ style (which are predominantly influenced by early to mid-20th century history and era). Thus In Slaughter Natives stand apart with their distinctive and recognisable neo-classical compositions, which articulate a hellish atmosphere of religious laments and amounts to a sonic representation of purgatorial damnation. Their music is a mix of heavy electronics, martial percussions, religious chants, orchestral samples and gruesome demonic vocals. After releasing some great albums on Cold Meat Industry and Staalplaat, the project remains as active as always.
