Suicide Commando brings uninhibited aggression back to the dance floor.
If Suicide Commando's position as frontrunner in the industrial/terror genre was ever up for debate, the second single from the band's 2010 release Implements from Hell once again alleviates any possible doubt. Quick on the coattails of the Until We Die/Severed Head single, ringleader Johan Van Roy again provides another signature assault of his unique and instantly recognizable industrial angst - and it's a welcome onslaught to fans of overtly written lyrics and pulse-pounding electro dance beats. "Die Motherfucker Die" embodies what the Suicide Commando of today is all about: dark, angry, and wracked with wonderfully corrosive vocals and synths; it's everything that we could have hoped to receive as a follow-up to 2006's Bind, Torture, Kill.
Holding no punches Van Roy unleashes his trademark style on us with a power and command that fans have now come to expect from any Suicide Commando song. "Die Motherfucker Die" is a slap in the face of electronic malevolence that makes no apologies. The disc itself includes two brand new tracks as well as two remixed versions of the title track by the likes of Kombat Unit collaborator Jan L. as well as Mexican cohorts C-Lekktor, the latter of which apply a tremendous symphonic dance drive to the already body-moving single.
"Die Motherfucker Die" provides a violent lash out, which at first listen may appear irrationally vicious but beneath the lyrical surface bubbles a clever understanding of the reasoning behind the statement. Van Roy makes no mistakes when trying to convey lyrics that not only hold strong sociological importance but also manage to marry skillfully to the intensity of his music. There is, of course, tremendous club appeal to both "Die Motherfucker Die" and its alternate "Come Down With Me" - one would expect no less from one of the most noteworthy electronic musicians in the industrial underground scene. But beyond the obvious club appeal that both songs hold, there is clearly a great deal of lyrical deliberation and polished production evident. This is more than can be said from some of the more current electro/industrial bands out there today. After coming back from a three year hiatus with Die Motherfucker Die, Suicide Commando again reminds us of its significance in today's darker underground music scene.
