5 out of 5 stars best powernoise i've ever heard.......2006-05-25

Terrorfakt is one of my favorite electronic artists... The beats, mechanical and literally industrial drums and the heavy distortion are both cathartic and dancey. Its great to listen to when you just want loud, aggressive, pounding sound without melody or lyrics to evoke any emotions, etc. The best songs on here are probably Achtung!, Arsenal, No Mercy, Spineless, Furak, Hate Like This, and Zero. Achtung! has a militaristic, pounding blur of about 5 or so drumbeats going at once, you'd have to be a corpse to not dance to it. Arsenal continues with the bleak, war-like theme but adds a one-note synth sound that adds to the dark, horror-of-war feel. No Mercy literally sounds like factory noise, with metallic, clanging beats and very distorted bass, another very militaristic song. Spineless has samples from the Mummy, which are powerful and haunting with the added distortion, and the distorted bass kick and propulsive cymbals/snares is very raveable. Furak almost reminds me of IDM, like Aphex Twin, with 64th note drumbeats and a very high, glitchy tempo, but the mechanical, distorted sound is still there. The sample from House of a Thousand Corpses is very well placed. Hate Like This is extremely dancey and extremely distorted, and great to listen to when you're pissed off. Zero is a stroke of genius, with a propulsive, bass-heavy beat and a snapping snare, not to mention a haunting synth sound as well, if you were in a straight-jacket forced to listen to this song you'd find a way to dance, or even headbang, the song is so pounding and heavy.

The other songs are ok, but more for listening than for getting up and moving around. They aren't bad, but the songs I described above are what made the album for me. I like their subliminal political message to and the bleak, mechanical, military quality their songs have. There is no melody or lyrics, but any powernoise buff could tell you that either of those two things would ruin these songs. Whether you like it or not, it will make the dance, move, or do something, and is just fun to listen to. Go get it.

5 out of 5 stars Mind-Crushing Power.......2006-01-15

This is one of my all-time favorite industrial CDs, period. When you're this good at making noisescapes, you don't need lyrics, melodies, or anything else that has become so entrenched in the modern industrial/EBM scene. I'd put this right up there with Imminent Starvation, Gridlock, Converter, and Noisex in terms of originality and replay value.

And, yes, contrary to another reviewer, this IS industrial; in fact, I'd wager that it's more industrial than anything else released on Metropolis in years. If you go back and listen to some old industrial--I'd recommend Laibach's self-titled debut, or one of Einstuerzende Neubauten's earlier releases--you'll see that you don't need melodies at all to be industrial. The catchy synth lines aren't a part of industrial; rather, it's influence from EBM crossover, like Front 242.

In any event, this is definitively awesome and worth every penny you spend on it. The remix CD -- Cold World Remixes -- is also definitely worth a look, both for the B-sides and for some of the stellar remixes.

4 out of 5 stars Very acceptable and addicting electronic-industrial sounds.......2005-11-17

Terrorfakt was a newly discovered group while browsing the main website of Metropolis Records. After reading the reviews of Terrorfakt's recent and past work, I looked into one of his CD's (Cold Steel World)...Impressive! Terrorfakt does an excellent job at mixing some hard, ground-rumbling beats into violent, screeching, and terrifying melodies that actually make you want to hear more and more of their recent works and what's to come in the future for Terrorfakt. Cold Steel World has definitily started a different level of electronic music. The thing I've always liked about their works is that it's great for when you are doing some intense gaming (Doom3, FEAR, etc...). I have not heard much of the Cold World Remixes, but I hear they are fantastic. Terrorfakt will hopefully be a well-recognized group in the future. *Thumbs up!*

    A horror film whose topicality is tied to the dot-com boom is asking for trouble, and sure enough William Malone's follow-on to House on Haunted Hill turned out to be something of a murky bust. But composer Nicholas Pike's smartly understated score certainly deserves a better hearing. Working from inspirations as diverse as brooding Russian classical motifs, the baroque, and 20th-century modernism, Pike serves up a subtle cocktail of creepiness. On the cues "Alistair Gets Cozy/Cozier," he playfully turns the horror-film clichés of creaking hinges, leaden footsteps, and squeaking doors into wry mini-concertos of dread. There are a few obligatory crashing crescendos, wailing choirs, and action cues in the composer's largely seamless melding of the orchestral and electronic, but overall it's a soundtrack that wisely relies more on spacious dynamics than on cheap jolts to paint its evocative soundscape of dread. --Jerry McCulley
