Artist: THEE MALDOROR KOLLECTIVE
Album: A Clockwork Highway
Year: 2004

Thee Maldoror Kollective from Italy is one of the bands who is mentioned over here from the beginning. They were introduced to me as an extravagant group of individuals. The chance to listen to A Clockwork Highway was for me the first chance to listen to their music.

First thing I noticed that 'industrialized metal' aint a good explanation for their music, but 'metallized industrial' fits way better. But, to say that this is just EBM with guitars? Hell no! This band has got a lot more to offer. A Clockwork Highway is filled with (very long,) complex songs with lots of variation. The way they use the sampling is pretty chaotic, but it fits well to the music. Track two (Who Dares To Kill The Lion?) could fit perfectly on a soundtrack of every war movie. I think this band can be described as a mix between Suicide Commando and Nine Inch Nails, but with more chaos and less cyber. I am pretty curious how this band sounds live, and every time I listen to this record it gets better and better.

Vote: 77 / 100
