World Destruction (Time Zone)

Speak about destruction. (x3)

This is a world destruction, your life ain't nothing.
The human race is becoming a disgrace.
Countries are fighting with chemical warfare.
Not giving a damn about the people who live.
Nostradamus predicts the coming of the Antichrist.
Hey, look out, the third world nations are on the rise.
The Democratic-Communist Relationship,
won't stand in the way of the Islamic force.
The CIA is looking for you.
The KGB is smarter than you think.
Brainwash mentalities to control the system.
Using TV and movies - religions of course.
Yes, the world is headed for destruction.
Is it a nuclear war?
What are you asking for?

This is a world destruction. Your life ain't nothing.
The human race is becoming a disgrace.
The rich get richer.
The poor are getting poorer.
Fascist, chauvinistic government fools.
People, Moslems, Christians and Hindus.
Are in a time zone just searching for the truth.
Who are you to think you're a superior race?
Facing forth your everlasting doom.
We are Time Zone. We've come to drop a bomb on you.
World destruction, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom!

This is the world destruction, your life ain't nothing.
The human race is becoming a disgrace.
Nationalities are fighting with each other.
Why is this? Because the system tells you.
Putting people in faceless categories.
Knowledge isn't what it used to be.
Military tactics to control a nation.
Who wants to be a president or king? Me!
Mother Nature is gonna work against you.
Nothing in your power that you can do.
Yes, the world is headed for destruction.
You and I know it, cause the Bible tells you.
If we don't start to look for a better life,
the world will be destroyed in a time zone!

Fave goth band

weird little town in Georgia. He is still making great music.

disco siouxsie (ie peek-a-boo) is ok...but her first few do it for me. I have her eyes tattooed on the back of my lower neck over the big bat tattoo on my upper back...

I like skinny puppy, KMFDM, ministry (for industrial) and most all you named on your list except the Cure.

just taking a break from the remake of "texas chainsaw massacre". I will be back later.

No Cure for me either.

(I think they count...:shrug:)

The aforementioned Bauhaus...The Damned,....ummm...Mission UK, KLF, Future Sound of London...

I can't (at the mo') think of any more that haven't been mentioned without steering the topic towards electro/techno...

:D

The Electric Hellfire Club

I don't see how Ministry couldn't be on the list.

And my gut says Sonic Youth belongs here somewhere as well.

Aphex Twins too.

Maybe Voivod.

But Ministry for sure.

a friend has that new version of their big live set, 24 hours. I'm almost tempted to murder him and steal it to replace my crappy tapes.

Do you see what remastering has done to me? DRIVEN ME TO CONTEMPLATE MURDER.

They're reforming for a gig. Tickets are $1000.

I remember bumping into P-Orridge and suggesting it as a joke some years ago when I was an even pushier young creep. He looked at me as if I were complete vermin at the very thought.

They still have tickets listed for 125 Pounds, but apparently, those are sold out, and the only ones left are the chalet packages, which are $1000.

I'd be almost tempted to go if I could snag the 125 pound rate...

How could I've forgotten them?!

x(

(Btw, HI!! :hi: :D)

I lost those Knowing Me, Knowing You eps the very next day when the drive melted down due to some stupid cache setting.

I only got to see the first one! Oh woe is uh me bop...

real funny, too!

Get thee back to whence they came, and re-acquire them, ASAP. :)


;)

You know, Canuck, if you didn't start this thread, I would have!

Yeah, I love a lot of that stuff - more the doomy art-rock than the dancey industrial, though. Most of that Ministry/Thrill Kill stuff just sounded like distortion-box disco to me. I liked "industrial" when the term meant white-noise stuff like Non, Throbbing Gristle and Whitehouse, though.

Here's one for the list: Fad Gadget.

I love the "Gag!" LP.

It was four full months after he died before I found out. No music media in my area covered the news, and none of my friends are really that into him, so I didn't have any kind of grapevine news. I found out when I saw a New York Times obit taped up to the wall in a college radio station, and I bummed heavily.

Funny story: once I heard something oddly familiar through the heating vent in my house - my downstairs neighbor was blasting what sounded for all the world like "Ricky's Hand." I called him and asked if he was listening to Fad Gadget. He said "Yeah, I'm sorry, is it too loud?" So I told him no, either turn it up louder or invite me downstairs. Cool guy - we wound up hipping each other to a lot of stuff that evening.

Plus their later stuff (A Bell is a Cup, Wir, Ideal Copy), seemed to appeal to the gloomy floor-shufflers....

"Pink Flag," "Chairs Missing," and "154" are among my favoritest records.

But I wouldn't call it goth or industrial. More in the Bill Nelson School of Electronica vein.

not goth...

Thank you, come again...:hi:

:P

I was a huge Ministry and Cabaret Voltaire fan in my late teens early twenties. I also liked Nitzer Ebb and Front 242.

I miss my clubbing days. Back when I weighed about 100 pounds less and drooled over the fully made up males as I danced with my friends.

I remember you... :hi:

My sister's friend used to say "He melts my butter" when she thought a boy was cute, so my sister and I used that when we went out dancing. We'd motion towards the fellow, and say "I'm a puddle." Then we joked about the difficulties of dancing in a puddle of melted butter.

I think we laughed a little more than was fashionable in those circles, but hey, we were having fun.

Now I'm a conservative looking 36 year old guy in a fleece vest (at least it's still black).

I have been to a couple of Goth events in the last few years, but I sense my age. I get lots of 'tude from early 20's BabyGoths.

I'd love to jump up on a table and say "Hey, I've gone drinking with Peter Murphy, Martyn Atkins, Nivek Ogre, and Budgie, so UP YOURS!", but somehow I never do...

My brother did some kind of illegal substance with Nivek Ogre, but I only went to a few concerts.

I look conservative, too, which occassionally makes me wonder what my 18 year old self would have thought of me, but that's kind of fleeting.

I listened to Satyricon millions of times in my early twenties.

n/t

I can't count the number of times I've danced to God OD

:toast: :donut:

interesting... more as new wave medieval and beautiful

I used to go dancing to all that stuff with the "goths" but never really labelled it as goth or industrial... just dance music

I also like:

Ministry
Summertime Daisies
KMFDM
Rammstein
Feeling B/Inchtaboktables (do they count?)
later Information Society (well, and their earlier stuff, but it isn't Goth at all!)
The Wild Simoan Gangsta Tribe
Skinny Puppy
Front 242
Atari Teenage Riot (too techno for this list?)

Anyway, I've liked the music in all the Goth bars I've ever been in, although I'm a Notagothi -- tend to be a punk with dark tendencies (and a few whimsies, as I'm currently listening to HaDorbanim {The Hedgehogs}, an Israeli, Hebrew-language pop/disco band!).

That I've ever seen mention Atari Teenage Riot, or as I like to call them, "The Band You Can't Quote On Political Boards Without Getting A Special Visit From Homeland Security".

:toast:

Or are they just really, really naaaasty house/techno? I like your description of their lyrics, though... :)

If anyone here's even *heard* of WSGT or the Summertime Daisies I'd be very surprised!

More than enough.

I want to say I've heard of WSGT, but I'm not 100% sure.

are *NOT* techno!

x(

They're electro-noise at best...do NOT defile the good name of techno with ATR, for FUCK'S merciful sake...x(

Most of what I've heard sounds like, oh, sixteen measures of this, sixteen measures of that...and I have half a dozen friends who are/were regular ravers and two or three who still DJ raves and that sort of thing. ;-)

If I'm going to listen to dance music, give me some good straight-up disco any day. I'm all about the formalism, baby!

Incidentally, formalism is the reason I dig EN so much -- a lot of their songs don't sound like songs until you start listening to them in terms of hearing the *structure*. After that, it's "oh, yeah, verse...chorus...bridge...progression..." and so on! (Skinny Puppy's the same way.) It took me about a month of listening to them nonstop, trying to get my head around some of their weirder stuff, to get to that point, though, I'm sorry to say.

I still like Dead Can Dance, Bauhaus, Sisters, the Cure, etc. But I'm not Goth. :) I've never been much into Industrial, but I used to go to this industrial club called Kontrol Faktory in LA. It was alot of fun.

One of my Top Ten shows was seeing Dead Can Dance at UCLA back in the 90s. I think that was after the Into the Labyrinth.

here's what's in my collection:

Cranes
Cleaner
Rasputina
Praka Kahn
Cure(duh)

I'm not sure what really qualifies but Saturday nites at the Cobalt Lounge are goth/industrial nights no cover & my wife & I go sometimes and we don't "dress up" but we really like the music we hear even though we don't know what it is most of the time and people are nice but sometimes wonder why we're there and we feel goth on the inside.

Our time has come age of the hammerhead
This is our mission to be the darlings of god
Too late for silence too late for anything
It's all too much for me it's roots go down to deep for me
Our punishing fire an animal frenzy
These hammerhead people they know what dange is for
You let them in and now there everywhere
If it's mineral or vegtable it's back a little up a little

Shot push hammerheads bold and resolute
Marching balancing in too far to go back
Yes yes hammerheads swimming kissing
We are big and clever and we don't know anything
Purification by emersion in our filthy demon seed
We know the only things you like are paranoid sex and childish greed
Our own worst enemies they hold us to our word
Look at the beast inside us gonna get us this time but good
Whether we pull it out or push it in it all ends up the same
You know a hammerhead is a hammerhead by any other name

Onwards hammerhead bright and dangerous
Jumping running in the filed and factory
God save hammerheads keeping going
We are sleek and special and we're sure of something
Blessed are the airmen
Blessed are the shit kickers
Blessed are the jackhammers
Blessed is the big damage
Blessed are the faith healers
Blessed are the moon wlakers
Blessed are the snake people
Blessed are the heat seakers

BIG BLACK NEMSIS - OIL AND GOLD (shriekback)

In a jungle of the senses
Tinkerbell and Jack the ripper
Love has no meaning, not where they come from
But we know pleasure is not that simple
Very little fruit is forbidden
Sometimes we wobble, sometimes we're strong
But you know evil is an exact science
Being carefully correctly wrong

Chorus
Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals
Everybody happy as the dead come home
Big Black Nemesis, parthenogenesis
No one move a muscle as the dead come home

We feel like Greeks, we feel like Romans
Centaurs and monkeys just cluster round us
We drink elixirs that we refine
from the juices of the dying
We are no monsters, we're moral people
and yet we have the strength to do this
This is the splendour of our achievement
Call in the airstrike with a poison kiss

Chorus
Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals
Everybody happy as the dead come home
Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis
No-one move a muscle as the dead come home

How bad it gets, you can't imagine
the burning wax, the breath of reptiles
god is not mocked, he knows our business
Karma could take us at any moment
Cover him up.....I think we're finished
You know it's never been so exotic
but I don't know, my dreams are visions
We could still end up with the great big fishes

Chorus
Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals
Everybody happy as the dead come home
Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis
No-one move a muscle as the dead come home

That was an old favorite of mine, and now it's going over and over in my head. Sigh...and I was just getting ready to go to bed too.

Now I'm going to have to run out any buy a copy. Double sigh.
