BRANDKOMMANDO  We All Love Your Children  CDR   (R.O.N.F. Records)   9.98
We All Love Your Children IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

A brutal, yet somewhat low-key album of power electronics that comes to us from the Polish project Brandkommando. Coming from this heavily Catholic country, Brandkommando makes religion and the Catholic Church the primary target of it's ire on this disc, specifically the whole issue of sexual abuse within the Church that has become such a hot topic over the past decade; underneath the rumbling, pulsating black electronics of We Love All Your Children is an excoriating attack on religious orders and pedophilic priests that glows white-hot. The eight tracks are vicious, blackened PE layering grating junk-noise over deep simmering drones, more seething and smoldering than full-on blasting, the vibe more about suppressed violence than a chaotic assault. One of our favorite aspects of this disc are the bestial snarling vocals that are used pretty consistently; it's a pretty ferocious vocal style that is sometimes treated with heavy fx, or shifts into a deep, growling stentorian voice speaking in Polish. The noise is a mix of deep rumbling metallic thrum and keening high end drones that's blanketed with weird percussive rattling and looped feedback; it's not until the sixth track "Lux Veritatis" that the disc really kicks with full-power, the sound erupting into a crushing distorted rumble over samples of Catholic hymns, the liturgical choir nearly consumed by a torrent of crashing metal and malevolent electronic drone, followed by the rhythmic threatening pummel and martial pound and demonic muttering of "Biskup Pedofil" that becomes lost in a tempest of harsh swirling electronics laced with jarring random sound events.

Excellent dark power electronics for fans of Sutcliffe Jugend, Slogun, Propergol, and Deathpile. We Love All Your Children comes in a printed cardstock sleeve with the disc affixed to the inner panel on a hub, the sleeve then slipped inside of a printed envelope. Released in a limited edition of fifty copies.
