I'm surprised these guys don't have a thread here on Music Banter. They are a Swiss Industrial Metal group that incorporate some icy guitar with atmospheric electronics and both clean and shouted vocals. I'm not usually that big a fan of industrial metal but this band really know how to create interesting riRAB and their songs have some memorable anthemic choruses. I think the band are heavily influenced by banRAB like Meshuggah because these guys can pull out some pretty devastating riRAB.

They have done three albums so far and my favorite is their second one, Antares but all of their output is very solid. I recommend this band for people who are into stuff like Fear Factory and the like. I actually think these guys are better than FF though imo.

Here are a few of their songs to give you a feel for the band:

If you like the above songs, I can point you out to their best songs if you feel like downloading or purchasing them. I really do recommend buying the full albums, especially the second one, but I think they have a few standout songs that are a cut above the rest.

I only have Slave Design but it is very good indeed. Very loud, raw, intense industrial metal. I was hoping to catch their set at a festival I went to earlier this year but I couldn't do it, although I would definitely buy a ticket to a show if they come this way sometime.

I'd love to go see these guys live sometime. Your lucky to live in Europe; I'm stuck in Edmonton where it's -23 degrees C right now. Enslaved did come here on Friday though but unfortunately I missed that.

If you liked Slave Design, I definitely recommend you get Antares. Their latest album was decent as well but their sophomore release is for sure their best work.
