Several famous industrial bands of the late 80s have released some of their best records in quite a while lately. Skinny Puppy's or Front Line Assembly's are a couple of examples that have plenty to offer, thus enjoying a resurgence in popularity. Hell, even Ministry's ended up better than anyone expected and Jourgensen went out on a higher note than predicted. Of all, there was one more group that was really quiet and secretive until now...

Reissues all around! Of special interest to industrial head bangers whose Wax Trax vinyl copies have succumbed to the needle and the damage done, this triple bill of beat crazy debauchery will surely suffice. Relive the days of sonic mayhem when sampling crazed maniacs cranked up the beats on the disco floor and smeared it with blood. Days of Swine and Roses, Kooler Than Jesus, Heresy ... they're all here in demonic digital glory. You know who you are.

Disco-porn lite for kids who have so much trouble figuring out kink isn't sinful that they flip to the jive about how it captures the truth of male-female dynamics, patriarchal oppression, human nature, or whatever else feels-good-do-it. It beats S'Express's Intercourse, which must have been named after the town in Pennsylvania, but if you crave the real shit, sample the Lords of Acid's Lust. These Chicagoans are betting you'll feel more comfortable with a fake...

How could anyone not love My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult? If you went
to college in the late 1980s or early 1990s, and were anything but a
total, absolutely hopeless dork, you probably spent a fair amount of
time flailing around to their funny, sexy, throbbing tunes in dark,
stanky industrial clubs. Well, I did, anyway...

"The idle mind is a playground for the Devil."
My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, "Do You Wanna Get Funky with Me"
The Pink Panther remake starring Steve Martin was originally supposed to be released last fall, but was pushed back to this winter. Never a good sign. When a flick gets bumped from August tent-pole status to the barren, post-holiday, winter movie wasteland, it's a clear sign that the problems surrounding the film are greater than rewrites or re-shoots or re-edits or marke...

My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult's industrial blend of B-movie samples, house beats, and kitschy apocalyptic pretense coheres nicely on Kooler Than Jesus. The 1990 EP on Wax Trax/TVT Records features two original tracks ("Kooler Than Jesus" and "Devil Bunnies") along with the combined material from the Chicago group's first two 12" vinyl-only single releases, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult and Some Have to Dance, Some Have to Kill...

Releasing a live dance disc is kind of like circulating a compact disc from your favorite karaoke bar: Most everything is canned and resembles the original album mixes (or remixes) as well as they can program their machines. My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult uses instruments sometimes, yet still the vocals that probably weren't sampled still sound sampled on Elektrik Inferno Live, which is odd...
