Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a monumental shift in their sound, the German electronic pioneers injected thrash metal guitars into their aggressive EBM foundation for this critical release. 'I' functions as a pioneering industrial metal document, pairing mechanical drum programming with abrasive, socially conscious lyricism. The record effectively laid the aggressive, mechanized blueprint for the impending Neue Deutsche H盲rte movement.
