Martial

[bitewerksMTB]

One of the funniest things I've seen was Der Blutharsch perform in Brooklyn. Torches, puffy pants, a woman reading a fucking scroll... HALIRIOUS!

I like Turbund Sturmwerk & Markus Wolff's project who I can't think of the name right now. Old Allerseelen (sp?) is good.

Roots of Martial Industrial:

Role-playing nerds in fake silk ropes getting assaulted by underage immigrant gangs in Scandinavian concrete suburbs.

That would make for a great field recording BTW

As for early Test Department, pure Industrial.

Mid-career Test Department is sometimes more on the martial side, though.  Albums like Gododdin, Proven in Action.

Arditi / Puissance
Exemtum
Triarii

been listening to so much martial industrial lately, when it's good it's great. it's almost like Neofolk, the deeper you go the worse it gets.

Really liking that Straight Arm Salute - Teachings In Traditionalism  album. For me that is a fine example of Martial Industrial synthesis.

Both Predella Avant's albums (self titled and Carbon Figures) were really good.

Indeed. Totally understimted.

I've been a fan of Triarii, some Arditi, Von Thronstahl, but I've never been able to fully delve deeply into the genre. It seems oddly limited, and I'm not certain why.

I dunno - maybe only so many martial patterns they can use?
Actually, one martial project I really did like was Kraschau. Hungarian lad, into his monarchist stuff, but also a lot of Spanish samples. Quite abrasive in many ways, too. Generally pretty heavy, and very good. Sadly defunct now, but did release a "remix" CD last year.

Perhaps, yes. I've considered trying my hand at creating some just to see the nuance it takes. Perhaps its limited nature is its own form of inspiration as far as trying to pierce whatever the "next level" might be.
