about

Swedish act ELM is back! After the brutal and successful EP “Steel Hope” comes the “Penetrator” album. The bonus tracks edition is an extended body of work that is sure to completely run you over. Physically, mentally and emotionally!

This is uncompromising relentless machine music for body and soul. Devastating bass lines and tenacious rhythms. Honest aggression that you know is genuine! For lovers of NITZER EBB, FRONT 242, early GESAFFELSTEIN and SCHWEFELGELB. Electronic Body Music at its best.

Mass manipulation, social media insanity, violence, propaganda, pandemic and war: “Penetrator” captures the atmosphere of the past years' chaos in an absurd world along with personal hardships and battles.

“Penetrator” is nothing less than baptism under fire! A body of work that will penetrate you, shake you up, cleanse you, make you question yourself and the world around you and leave you wondering what the hell just ran you over and turned your guts inside out.

The bonus tracks edition of “Penetrator’ holds 8 extra tracks with 4 top notch additional songs plus 4 outstanding remixes including one by Patrick Codenys of FRONT 242. Another pack of solid, well-crafted basslines, stomping rhythms and tight sequencing. All highly suited for the dance floor.

Strength is our legacy: never bend – never break!
Play it at maximum volume. Let ELM penetrate you!

The Other Man - A Front 242 Tribute
by Leaether Strip

While these are good remixes, they are ironically stripped down to usual EBM trappings. It lacks a LOT of wild experimentation with arrangements, bombastic use of high dynamic range capabilities and Mariana trench's deep use of sequencers which made Front 242 a Sistine Chapel of the genre. Nevertheless, it's an enjoyable EBM Fix ►For You◀ I do appreciate visceral energy on certain songs which added another layer to the originals. Now i wait for FLA's Caustic Grip/TNI tribute like a guard dog. Symbolic ‡ Tentacles
