Title: Power Electronics Anthems
Post by: Andrew McIntosh on March 21, 2014, 06:15:05 AM
Not so much the classic albums as such, but those individual songs/pieces that stand out to you, and why. A few starters for my part -

Con-Dom, "Moors Rapist". Any track that has the chorus "women need rape" is going to stand out, but this is a driving, pounding thing of instant musical attraction. It builds slowly and sustains its tension throughout the piece, and the angry misogyny of the lyrics expose more of the mind of men than the mere words. I used this piece as an example when explaining to my sister the complexities of PE.

Brighter Death Now, "Fourteen". For similar reasons as the previous, this is a genuinely disturbing piece, the slow, sinister build-up towards the ultimate atrocity followed by footsteps leaving the school to anonymity and freedom, Karmonik's final admonition - "You're fourteen...you're mine" remains ringing in the mind. Psychological aural cinema.
(I'd also offer "Now Is The Time", as that piece really jumped out at me when I heard it for the first time. I was rather hoping that it would be one album-long track, but that would be a vocal gymnastic miracle).

Genocide Organ, "At Judas". This piece always stood out for me. The slow, restrained pound of the rhythm, the slow, restrained oscillation of the synthesiser, the mystery of the simple vocal refrain. A piece that offers no answers but inflicts great emotional impact.

Deathpile, "You Will Never Know". The final blast from one of PE's highlight albums, the lyrics brilliantly get the to the core of murder/serial killer obsession. The un-answered questions that are never resolved, that remain to haunt and harm those who ponder, all rendered in Canady's full-throated, hate-filled roar. Maximum impact, US PE at it's peak.

Final word: Brethren's "Zionist Axiom", because it's like Limp Bizkit as PE and that is one fine formula, haha. Verse-chorus-repeat

All these tracks are quite "catchy" in their own way:

Nicole 12 - Ballerina
Snuff - Hail Black Rapists
XE - Raise Your Right Arm
Sick Seed - The Most Hated Crime of Them All

Yes, I agree with that (Green Army Faction), and also w/ the Con-Dom 'Moor Rapist' choice. Probably the best Con-Dom track, and it appears on a compilation. Also, BDN's 'Fourteen' is great, but not exactly an 'anthem', I would have thought. From the same album, I'd cite 'Payday' with it's relentless churning effect. One of my favourite BDN numbers.
However, I think the top 'anthem' - for its pure driven forcefulness - is probably Genocide Organ's 'Hail America'.
Also love The Grey Wolves' 'New Luddites', and Operation Cleansweep's 'White Patriots', both masterpieces.
Those are the ones that spring to mind immediately, but maybe more will come as I go through the day! Oh yeah, 'Rock n' Roll', 'My Cock's on Fire', or 'Avisodomy' - or any number of tracks by Whitehouse, really?

This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhOwfploId4) live vid. of Russians giving Nazi salutes to a German band playing a track called "Hail America" illustrates everything great about Power Electronics.

agreed!

so many of Whitehouse's tracks are anthemic, but I prefer "Wriggle Like A Fucking Eel" and "Cut Hands Has The Solution".

but for me the all time PE anthem is Grunt - "Force In The Streets" - the panning rhythm, effected vocals and chainsaw-like feedback gets me every time.

REGIM - Shit life
Not the best material by Regim, really, but that song gives me goosebumps.

GENOCIDE ORGAN - God sent us (remember-version)
Not the biggest GO-fan but this version is scary.

RAMLEH - Prossneck
Maybe not very "anthemic", but so memorable...

Genocide Organ, "At Judas"
This is the first to come to mind.  Honestly, it's the only one to come to mind with any real significance.  There are probably several others in the distance, but the only other two that come to me by name are:  1) Einleitungszeit "Stromzahler-Trauma" - I never cared for the moaning, but the dense mass of percussive hate and destruction is sort of the power-electronic analog to Thomas Koner tectonic plate movement.  I wish I knew of others like it, so if anyone has a recommendation, please share.  2)  MZ.412 "Necrotic Birth" - something darkly spiritual about it.

Uh, nice suggestions everybody!
I'll mostly go along with some classics that were already mentioned I guess:

Whitehouse - You Don't Have To Say Please / My Cock's On Fire (those two are fucking catchy!)
The Sodality - I Can't Stand A Bitchy Chick (though I'm not sure whose version I prefer)
Intrinsic Action - Groupies / Dazed (well, they're all really catchy)
Deathpile - Addicted (again, the whole "G.R." album is probably one of the most anthemic p.e. releases ever)
Slogun - I Kill To Forget (super catchy)
Con-Dom - Nigger Black (well...)

Anenzephalia - Final Pulse

"Final Pulse Extension" sounds even more oppressive and suffocating to me and is my second favourite Anenzephalia track after "Vagus Death Induction".

Genocide Organ has produced a lot of archetypal PE compositions over the decades, but the ones that stand out to me the most are "Hail America" and "White Power Forces" in their "Remember"-incarnations, plus the re-recorded version of "God Sent Us" (found on "Archive II"), as well as a good chunk of the "Mind Control" LP.

I also have to mention "New Britain" by Whitehouse in its entirety, probably the best PE LP ever produced. Just scorching.

Some more 'classic' tracks that come to mind are "I Regret Nothing" by Con-Dom, "Not Your Country" by The Grey Wolves, and "Petturien Rooli" by Grunt. I guess powerful vocal delivery plays a significant role in all three.

confesso tutto is probably the track that got me into deciding to start doing stuff myself...
it was in the great EXPOSING ITALIAN UNDREGROUND tape compilation released by Aex Papa (Helter Skelter, Mondo Bizzarro, Kaly Yuga), that featured also Atrax Morgue, Odal (Italian one), T.A.C., Gerstein,  Runes Order and a brilliant AIN SOPH track. http://www.discogs.com/Various-Exposing-Italian-Underground/release/252389

Talked to Johanna from Institut (and Koeff) and she said that the song was always great to play live but she wasn't really pleased with the recording on the double 7" from CMI, which makes sense to me... it's an anthemic song for sure but I always felt the recording lacked a certain something. J said that Tesco apparently had a much better live take of the song somewhere yet unreleased...

Originally not an Institut track. There was once a "New Futurist Movement" in Malmö and its musical wing, for want of a better description, was called Megafon. Unto the Last Man was a Megafon track. I think it was even released on tape by NFM a couple of years before Institut decided to make it theirs. When NFM ended in tears Institut went on to do great things on their own.
