小简介
The Young Gods和Pitchshifter、Godflesh等乐队一起,是大量使用技术对金属乐结构进行扭曲改造的最早的一批乐队。他们早在90年代早期就以面对社会的勇敢精神,让人想起英国朋克和美国硬核的早期岁月。
乐队融合了NIN式的神经元素和Das Ich的黑暗哥特氛围,同科技舞曲混杂,创出一种独特的工业金属模式
Swiss electro-noise terrorists the Young Gods traced their origins back to 1982, when Geneva-based frontman Franz Treichler, increasingly bored with his then-current new wave band, began experimenting with a small sampler. Influenced as well by the visceral power of punk and the grand drama of classical music, he began creating abrasive guitar and drum loops, and with sampler Cesare Pizzi and percussionist Frank Bagnoud, founded the Young Gods in 1985; named in an honor of a Swans composition, the trio debuted a year later with Envoyé!, a brief, blistering single distilling their assaultive sound to its core. Produced by Swan Roli Mosimann, their self-titled debut LP followed in 1987, and was named Album of the Year by the British music weekly Melody Maker; by the time of the follow-up, 1989s LEau Rouge, drummer Use Heistand had replaced Bagnoud, and with the release of 1991s The Young Gods Play Kurt Weill, Pizzi was gone in favor of sampler Alain Monod. T.V. Sky followed in 1992, while 1995s Only Heaven flirted with ambient textures; two years later, the Young Gods (minus Heistand and with new drummer Bernard Trontin) returned with Heaven Deconstruction.
