Thorgahuginn

Industrial at its very best. The guitars at the beginning of "Stray Bullet" always gives me goosebumps.As a lot of people, I have known KMFDM thanks to a wonderful game called "Test Drive 5". I played to this game only once, about 10 years ago when the brother of a friend had it. Threrefore I didn't kept any souvenir.I just rediscovered it recently by accident when I heard and recognized the song "Anarchy" on Youtube, definitely my favorite along with "Megalomaniac".The combination with EBM makes the album more rhythmic and it's all good. "Symbols" and "www.pitchshifter.com" are, in my opinion, two of the best industrial metal records ever made.
