  ░█▒  Years have passed since my hopes were at their highest to         ▒█░
  ░█▒  finally get a full dose of AstmaÆs Music via any kind of media.   ▒█░
  ░█▒  The wait is over. æ600 Pounds Of Bodyö is now out and ready for   ▒█░
  ░█▒  action. Outside of some compilation tracks and some YouTube       ▒█░
  ░█▒  videos, good luck finding anything from this three-piece Swedish  ▒█░
  ░█▒  EBM militia. Hence why this is a great day for the EBM lovers!    ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Astma recorded their first track ôLord Of Chaosö back in 2001.    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Magnus and Stefan were playing in several bands at the time,      ▒█░
  ░█▒  with Stroma being the main project. Astma was one of the          ▒█░
  ░█▒  projects they used when writing old school EBM. By 2004 they      ▒█░
  ░█▒  more or less abandoned all other projects to focus on Astma. In   ▒█░
  ░█▒  2007 they had their first gig in Germany and asked Robert to      ▒█░
  ░█▒  join the band full time. Astma usually plays only a few gigs a    ▒█░
  ░█▒  year with their next scheduled for Liviv, Ukraine later this      ▒█░
  ░█▒  month.                                                            ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Astma draws a strong influence from the Old School. Bands like    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Swedish legends Pouppee Fabrikk and Controlled Analogue           ▒█░
  ░█▒  Programming harness the same type of aggression that Astma        ▒█░
  ░█▒  displays in each and every song. Old School EBM has its staples   ▒█░
  ░█▒  like Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft and Nitzer Ebb. Astma     ▒█░
  ░█▒  take elements from the style and blend more modern influences     ▒█░
  ░█▒  while still retaining the Old School sound.                       ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  As we look over the double CD featuring 3 pairs of boots as the   ▒█░
  ░█▒  focal point of the artwork one could assume, based on AstmaÆs     ▒█░
  ░█▒  sense of humor that each member averages about 200 pounds in      ▒█░
  ░█▒  weight. We also know most of the 42 songs on the double album     ▒█░
  ░█▒  clock in under 3 minutes long. At the top left corner of the      ▒█░
  ░█▒  front cover Astma snuck in a tribute to Front 242 (2CDs 42        ▒█░
  ░█▒  tracks).  Chris Lewis of Red +Test did the artwork while label    ▒█░
  ░█▒  mate Arnte of Pyrroline and Norschlacht fame mastered all 42      ▒█░
  ░█▒  tracks.                                                           ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░

  ░█▒  Volume 2 will feature K Factor and Volume 3 unleashes the         ▒█░
  ░█▒  Serpents.                                                         ▒█░

  ░█▒  Chapter û 1     Telephones & Coffee                               ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  "Telephone Terror" serves as the opener for disc 1 of '600        ▒█░
  ░█▒  Pounds of Body'. Astma introduces us to their terrifying fears    ▒█░
  ░█▒  of answering the telephone. It rings, but no one will answer the  ▒█░
  ░█▒  phone. What if it's a large festival promoter calling to book     ▒█░
  ░█▒  Astma? Maybe it's a bloodthirsty telemarketer hell-bent on        ▒█░
  ░█▒  selling you a magazine subscription? Ring, ring , ring, Come on   ▒█░
  ░█▒  guys, and answer that annoying phone! With samples of various     ▒█░
  ░█▒  familiar phone related sounds set to muscular big time beats, we  ▒█░
  ░█▒  are treated to glimpse inside the world of telephone phobia. Bad  ▒█░
  ░█▒  news? Good News? Fear of being judged by others are just some of  ▒█░
  ░█▒  the thoughts eating away at the minds of the afflicted. Perhaps   ▒█░
  ░█▒  one late night the phone rings and there is no answer. It         ▒█░
  ░█▒  happens again and again until paranoia completely takes control.  ▒█░
  ░█▒  The theme reminds me of the classic 1964 Twilight Zone episode    ▒█░
  ░█▒  "Night Call" where an elderly woman receives mysterious phone     ▒█░
  ░█▒  calls one stormy night. The origin of the phone calls is traced   ▒█░
  ░█▒  to a fallen wire that was resting on the grave of her deceased    ▒█░
  ░█▒  fiancΘ. Ultimately, I think the phone just rings at inconvenient  ▒█░
  ░█▒  times.                                                            ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Do Astma members drink too much coffee? Do they stay up too late  ▒█░
  ░█▒  worrying about telephones and hippies? Well, the track            ▒█░
  ░█▒  "Perculator" brews up some fun yet powerful waves of murderous    ▒█░
  ░█▒  caffeine- induced rhythms set to the extreme need to saturate     ▒█░
  ░█▒  one's body with excessive amounts of coffee.  Based on my coffee  ▒█░
  ░█▒  bean research, it would appear based on the aggression of the     ▒█░
  ░█▒  music and the layout of the composition; the coffee would need    ▒█░
  ░█▒  to be of high quality, perhaps something out of the Costa Rican   ▒█░
  ░█▒  regions of Tarrazu, Tres Rios or the West Valley. I would         ▒█░
  ░█▒  personally recommend the brand Coope Victoria. Beans from these   ▒█░
  ░█▒  areas are typically resistant leaf rust and the stem boring       ▒█░
  ░█▒  pests known as Xylutrechus Quadripes.  This rich blend is a       ▒█░
  ░█▒  perfect complement to writing fat basslines and stomping beats    ▒█░
  ░█▒  with all other concerns set aside. Drink up!                      ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Hippy guys, hippy guys, let's talk about those hippies I          ▒█░
  ░█▒  mentioned above. Imagine chasing around some longhaired fellows   ▒█░
  ░█▒  with your finest line of Kamisori shears. Of course only the      ▒█░
  ░█▒  best shears should be used to make your point regarding one's     ▒█░
  ░█▒  hair length. "Cut It Short" is a playful marketing blitz for      ▒█░
  ░█▒  those hairy peace pushing peeps known as hippies to reduce their  ▒█░
  ░█▒  hair length to above the shoulders. Astma uses this song to       ▒█░
  ░█▒  point out that hippies are the opposite of the EBM stomper.       ▒█░
  ░█▒  Astma has nothing against hippies. The band even stated they dig  ▒█░
  ░█▒  Jefferson Airplane, The Mamas and the Papas, and The Doors. The   ▒█░
  ░█▒  band also stated, without feeling a need to reach for a pair of   ▒█░
  ░█▒  scissors they can enjoy having some beers with the longhaired     ▒█░
  ░█▒  folk. Grab a brew and check out the animated You Tube video for   ▒█░
  ░█▒  "Cut It Short".                                                   ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  "Suffer And Pain" hides nothing when it comes to depression and   ▒█░
  ░█▒  apathy. Depression affects millions of people worldwide. People   ▒█░
  ░█▒  cope with it in many ways, some more self-destructive than        ▒█░
  ░█▒  others. Prescription drugs such as Paxil, Zoloft and Prozac are   ▒█░
  ░█▒  common methods of combating depression. Unfortunately others      ▒█░
  ░█▒  reach for illegal drugs or alcohol, and some choose isolation.    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Raw vocals and hulking beats rip through belly of the song        ▒█░
  ░█▒  revealing the horrors of being alone and having one's cries for   ▒█░
  ░█▒  help go unanswered.                                               ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Chapter û 2     War                                               ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Like a rolling fog, the thumping bassline creeps over an excerpt  ▒█░
  ░█▒  from what appears to be a sample from a World War 1 documentary.  ▒█░
  ░█▒  We all know many soldiers never returned from the battlefields.   ▒█░
  ░█▒  "Unknown Soldier" seems address that very theme. The lyrics       ▒█░
  ░█▒  repeat the lines "Dead and Buried" and "No one knows his name"    ▒█░
  ░█▒  as well as, "August 3, 1917".  That is the date Germany declared  ▒█░
  ░█▒  war on France. The French losses were high compared to other      ▒█░
  ░█▒  countries.  All the training in the world is not always enough    ▒█░
  ░█▒  to ensure survival. The vocals vary from the throaty CAP-like to  ▒█░
  ░█▒  a slightly higher pitch giving another dimension to this          ▒█░
  ░█▒  powerful track. Oddly enough, out of coincidence, this part of    ▒█░
  ░█▒  the review was written on August 3rd. Whoa!                       ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  The bass keeps pounding the message home about war. "No           ▒█░
  ░█▒  Surrender".  As the enemy approaches there is no retreat. The     ▒█░
  ░█▒  chanted chorus "No retreat, no surrender!" make this a            ▒█░
  ░█▒  no-brainer for a sing along.                                      ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Enter "449 Metal Bullets" made famous by the 'Hymns of Steel'     ▒█░
  ░█▒  compilation back in 2006. This was huge dose of old school EBM    ▒█░
  ░█▒  influenced artists such as C.A.P, Ionic Vision, Militant          ▒█░
  ░█▒  Cheerleaders on the Move, Volt and Jager 90.  Nearly every track  ▒█░
  ░█▒  on this compilation is top-notch EBM power. Astma's "449 Metal    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Bullets" remained in constant rotation ever since. The energy     ▒█░
  ░█▒  and sheer desire to completely take over the compilation was      ▒█░
  ░█▒  evident here. It was unmatched. Now, 9 years later an             ▒█░
  ░█▒  exceptional new version recorded in 2008 appears on this          ▒█░
  ░█▒  monstrous document of Astma's existence.  There is no let down    ▒█░
  ░█▒  of the sheer force that made "449 Metal Bullets" such a staple    ▒█░
  ░█▒  in many playlists. This is truly a Hymn of steel!                 ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  In the factory (also known as the "Power Plant") we earn a        ▒█░
  ░█▒  salary. "Nuclear energy" is shouted at the end of the song        ▒█░
  ░█▒  revealing the type of power plant.  It all starts in the          ▒█░
  ░█▒  factory. Workers arrive each and every day.  They punch the       ▒█░
  ░█▒  clock and produce what the work orders state. The politicians     ▒█░
  ░█▒  lay the groundwork and factory workers bring those plans to       ▒█░
  ░█▒  life. All of these late hours at the factory begin to take their  ▒█░
  ░█▒  toll on the body. You realize you are now old and your knees      ▒█░
  ░█▒  ache and the mind is breaking down. This is "Human Decay".        ▒█░
  ░█▒  Hopefully our workers have a nice pension to help with            ▒█░
  ░█▒  retirement. As the chorus repeatedly shouts "Human Decay" to a    ▒█░
  ░█▒  pummeling beat that vibrates your cartilage and forces your body  ▒█░
  ░█▒  into submission. This is the EBM version of a Web MD diagnosis    ▒█░
  ░█▒  on aging.                                                         ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  As the years roll by with a life so consumed with work and other  ▒█░
  ░█▒  things, we have this life defining moment of clarity. This        ▒█░
  ░█▒  moment reveals we never made time for the little things. Life     ▒█░
  ░█▒  passed us by and there is no time left to go back. It reminds me  ▒█░
  ░█▒  of something my good friend Bob told me. We should make time to   ▒█░
  ░█▒  see and be with our loved ones.  Family gatherings around         ▒█░
  ░█▒  holiday times are ever changing with new additions and empty      ▒█░
  ░█▒  spaces for those we lost. I have since made extra efforts to do   ▒█░
  ░█▒  just that. I love playing with my daughter even when I am drop    ▒█░
  ░█▒  dead tired. Soon she'll have other interests and those silly      ▒█░
  ░█▒  little games she likes to play will eventually fade away to       ▒█░
  ░█▒  other endeavors. Of course, Astma' s take on this is set to some  ▒█░
  ░█▒  extreme boot thumping thrusts with dose of tormented reflections  ▒█░
  ░█▒  focused on the past.                                              ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Chapter û 3     Things are getting a little creepy                ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  People say and do a variety of things that can be construed as    ▒█░
  ░█▒  creepy and/or inappropriate depending on the context of the       ▒█░
  ░█▒  moment. It could be as simple as a comment taken the wrong way    ▒█░
  ░█▒  or someone consistently trying to make contact with you through   ▒█░
  ░█▒  conversation or as deranged as a person walking through heavily   ▒█░
  ░█▒  crowded areas such as subways, concerts or sporting events just   ▒█░
  ░█▒  to get off on rubbing against people. Yeah, people actually do    ▒█░
  ░█▒  it. I read it on the internets! "Stalking You" takes it to the    ▒█░
  ░█▒  next level of watching your object of desire through the          ▒█░
  ░█▒  windows, following the suitor to work or wherever they go. It's   ▒█░
  ░█▒  the next stage in creepiness. Astma keeps the beat aggressive to  ▒█░
  ░█▒  compliment the nature of the subject matter. If all of this       ▒█░
  ░█▒  isn't making you feel like your epidermis is squirming like a     ▒█░
  ░█▒  patient afflicted with Ekbom's Syndrome, perhaps being the star   ▒█░
  ░█▒  of a snuff film is all you need to fill in the gaps of all your   ▒█░
  ░█▒  uncertainty. "Director's Cut" is the movie you never want to      ▒█░
  ░█▒  see. It will never be on TV and you are the star.                 ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Perhaps when all the stalking is over and snuff film has made     ▒█░
  ░█▒  its rounds and has been seen by the elite psychopaths who enjoy   ▒█░
  ░█▒  such things, it's time for some more depraved enjoyment. Enter    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Mr. Miller! Mr. Miller is a self-proclaimed serial killer         ▒█░
  ░█▒  psychopath capable of many inhumane acts toward living creatures  ▒█░
  ░█▒  such as humans. "Mr. Miller" was recorded back in 2007 as         ▒█░
  ░█▒  tribute to horror movies. There are plenty serial killers in the  ▒█░
  ░█▒  movies and on television. Who is your favorite? For me it's the   ▒█░
  ░█▒  cadaver creating master of murder, Mr. Motherf**king Miller!      ▒█░
  ░█▒  Throughout the track every beat creates an image of arm rising    ▒█░
  ░█▒  to bring down a painful depth charge to his flesh-covered         ▒█░
  ░█▒  blood-soaked canvas.                                              ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Chapter-4        Parking in Sweden for Tourists and Locals        ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  I have been thinking about taking a nice trip to visit Sweden.    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Outside of some websites and magazine articles, I know very       ▒█░
  ░█▒  little on how to prepare for a stay in Sweden.  I am relying      ▒█░
  ░█▒  solely on Astma to help me prepare my possible trip. I picked up  ▒█░
  ░█▒  their '600 Pounds of Body' knowing there is a lot of information  ▒█░
  ░█▒  regarding Sweden from the view point of three standup gentlemen   ▒█░
  ░█▒  that actually live there.                                         ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Although I am not planning to rent a car, based on information    ▒█░
  ░█▒  obtained from '600 Pounds of Body', the evil parking maids can    ▒█░
  ░█▒  be a complete nightmare with their pencils and sheets patrolling  ▒█░
  ░█▒  the streets. 700Kr is a steep fee for a poorly parked vehicle.    ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  As for the climate in Sweden, the temperatures are influenced by  ▒█░
  ░█▒  the countless lakes and of course the Gulf Stream. In the winter  ▒█░
  ░█▒  you can expect flight delays, black ice, snow, power outages,     ▒█░
  ░█▒  stiff limbs and complete numbness.                                ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Saying that they don't want the perfect opportunity to pass by,   ▒█░
  ░█▒  the EBM terrorians, Robert, Magnus and Stefan were quoted in GQ   ▒█░
  ░█▒  Magazine with regards to their last shouting session with the     ▒█░
  ░█▒  season saying, "Screw You Summer!" as well as "You are not        ▒█░
  ░█▒  welcome!ö  Octogenarian and avid traveller, Mervin Levinson from  ▒█░
  ░█▒  New Jersey was quoted as saying "summer in Sweden is alright,     ▒█░
  ░█▒  but what's the deal with all the freakin' snakes? The last time   ▒█░
  ░█▒  I was there, a European Adder sunk its fangs into my left leg     ▒█░
  ░█▒  and I hallucinated for hours in writhing agony until finally      ▒█░
  ░█▒  being treated at a local clinic. Who the hell expects to be       ▒█░
  ░█▒  bitten by a snake in Sweden of all places! Fuck that!ö            ▒█░
  ░█▒  Pennsylvania man, Steven Gullotta stated a snake in Sweden once   ▒█░
  ░█▒  attacked him during his study abroad days. He quite elegantly     ▒█░
  ░█▒  said ô I got bit by a fucking snake so I bit it backö. Both the   ▒█░
  ░█▒  snake a Steven has since made amends and lives close due to job   ▒█░
  ░█▒  relocations. The two are often seen in downtown Philadelphia      ▒█░
  ░█▒  having a brew or catching a Phillies game.                        ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Astma had thoughts of writing more songs to include their hate    ▒█░
  ░█▒  for not only summer and winter, but to include Spring and Fall    ▒█░
  ░█▒  as well. They decided to write a happier song about "A Global     ▒█░
  ░█▒  Game" known as futbol or fusssball. Everyone in Sweden probably   ▒█░
  ░█▒  enjoys a good game of futbol or fussball.  ABC reporter, Pilar    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Jacobs caught up with one many fans of the global game asking     ▒█░
  ░█▒  for their thoughts on the game. Area man, Bard Eilhard whom       ▒█░
  ░█▒  simply replied, "fussball, fussball fussball".                    ▒█░

  ░█▒  We learned a lot through Astma's lyrics. Perhaps travel advice    ▒█░

  ░█▒  "Winter Hate", "Summer Plague", "Evil Bitches" & "Snake Bite"     ▒█░
  ░█▒  all feed the fires of Astma's sense of humor. One testimonial     ▒█░
  ░█▒  states, "The dudes just pummel you with an intense onslaught of   ▒█░
  ░█▒  ferocious beats and napalm guzzling vocals no matter what the     ▒█░
  ░█▒  topic is. The song lyrics could be about lovable baby owls or     ▒█░
  ░█▒  even puppies, but the music and vocals will tell a tale of        ▒█░
  ░█▒  bestial invasion and corporeal evisceration". û Mike Pierzynski,  ▒█░

  ░█▒  With cops on to Mr. Miller's quest to murder the world, he must   ▒█░
  ░█▒  decide where to escape to so he can start over and continue take  ▒█░
  ░█▒  human life. As he drives he thinks he hears a voice say "Where    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Are You"? He drives for hours through the vast highways of        ▒█░
  ░█▒  Sweden he tunes in the ESP radio for some positive vibes while    ▒█░
  ░█▒  plots he his escape.  Again he hears "Where Are You"? He ignores  ▒█░
  ░█▒  it only to recognize it as yet another Astma track on ESP radio.  ▒█░
  ░█▒  Bobbing his head to the beat "Where Are You" stands out as one a  ▒█░
  ░█▒  few tracks where the vocals are bit tamer. He keeps on his        ▒█░
  ░█▒  course to nowhere that most-likely ends in damnation. Mr. Miller  ▒█░
  ░█▒  always dreamed of going to Japan ever since heard "Body in        ▒█░
  ░█▒  Japan" by Astma. The song mentioned everything about Japan from   ▒█░
  ░█▒  Kawasaki to sake. It was the band's tribute to a culture they     ▒█░
  ░█▒  adore. Mr. Miller recalls in past interview he did for Serial     ▒█░
  ░█▒  Killer Weekly, "I love trying to hear every lyric over the        ▒█░
  ░█▒  booming electronics. In turn I actually learned some cool         ▒█░
  ░█▒  words." Lucky for Mr. Miller he knows Japan is a short drive      ▒█░
  ░█▒  from Sweden.  During his journey in his 2003 Saab 9-5, ESP radio  ▒█░
  ░█▒  is playing Astma's "Dead End". He totally digs the Front 242      ▒█░
  ░█▒  feel not only in music but the vocals as well. This track was     ▒█░
  ░█▒  featured on the Sham Recordings 2007 vinyl 7" compilation         ▒█░
  ░█▒  'Swedish Old School EBM'.  With cleaner vocals and a slower beat  ▒█░
  ░█▒  this is a great tune to drive to.  A sense of purpose and         ▒█░
  ░█▒  relaxation consumes Mr. Miller. In a 2007 interview with the      ▒█░
  ░█▒  trashy Serial Killer magazine û Shredding Drifter Quarterly, he   ▒█░
  ░█▒  stated, "Dead End is a wonderful song. It clearly shows another   ▒█░
  ░█▒  side to Astma's music. Whenever I hear it, I think about old man  ▒█░
  ░█▒  Henson. Yeah Hank I believe was his name. I had him laid out on   ▒█░
  ░█▒  my kill table with railroad spikes driven into each of his hands  ▒█░
  ░█▒  and I used a neon green children's jump rope to secure his body   ▒█░
  ░█▒  while marinating his feet in teriyaki sauce in another room. I    ▒█░
  ░█▒  remember pulling out his esophagus with homemade fishhook and     ▒█░
  ░█▒  plastic spork. I'll never forget the WTF look in eyes. It was     ▒█░
  ░█▒  great day". "Dead End" also hints to a possible outcome of Mr.    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Miller's escape plan. Unaware due to the sheer intensity of the   ▒█░
  ░█▒  situation with law enforcement hot on his tail, Mr. Miller truly  ▒█░
  ░█▒  believes there is a road that connects Sweden and Japan. This     ▒█░
  ░█▒  road will lead to nowhere. Stay tuned for more details.           ▒█░

  ░█▒  By now we know Mr. Miller is a very dangerous man. He becomes     ▒█░

  ░█▒  Aout 42, Plastic Noise Experience, The Blister Exists and Full    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Contact 69. Signal Aout 42 kicks off their rendition with a       ▒█░

  ░█▒  track with tweaks in the DNA of the music throughout, will        ▒█░

  ░█▒  continue to pillage humanity with his homicidal ways. PNE         ▒█░
  ░█▒  dazzles us with some killer synthwork set to a faster pace that   ▒█░
  ░█▒  may induce cultish dance rituals similar to what Mr. Miller was   ▒█░
  ░█▒  known to do in some of his desert kills in the late 80Æs. The     ▒█░
  ░█▒  reign of terror continues when The Blister Exists agitates Mr.    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Miller to the point of no return. A killing frenzy of metal       ▒█░
  ░█▒  riffs and twisted musical manipulations bring a sense of the      ▒█░

  ░█▒  Remember Mervin Levinson and Steven Gullotta? Both had bad        ▒█░
  ░█▒  experiences with the European Adder snake. We know Steve and the  ▒█░
  ░█▒  snake eventually reconciled, but Mervin never quite got over his  ▒█░
  ░█▒  hatred of snakes. He even went so far as to launch a campaign to  ▒█░
  ░█▒  destroy all snakes when he created a Facebook page with a lot of  ▒█░
  ░█▒  classified information snakes never wanted humans to know about   ▒█░
  ░█▒  them. Rightfully irritated by the acts of Levinson, the snakes    ▒█░
  ░█▒  convened at a local excavation to discuss the course of actions   ▒█░
  ░█▒  they would have to take to defend themselves from Levinson and    ▒█░
  ░█▒  other snake haters like him. Along with new ally Steven Gullotta  ▒█░
  ░█▒  armed with high-power sound system, he tuned into the ESP         ▒█░
  ░█▒  station featuring Cardinal NoireÆs boiling heavy beats of         ▒█░
  ░█▒  infernal terror sure to put a scare into the old Levinson fella.  ▒█░
  ░█▒  Old schoolers, Brigade Werther stopped by with some help from     ▒█░
  ░█▒  Snake Plisskin. Brigade Werther sounds like they are partially    ▒█░
  ░█▒  submerged in a vat of snake venom as vocals spill over with       ▒█░
  ░█▒  plenty of Snake Plisskin samples littered about the track. The    ▒█░
  ░█▒  deliberately slower beats deliver a freaky sense of excitement    ▒█░
  ░█▒  for the upcoming battle. Also coming into the scene to help out   ▒█░
  ░█▒  is the unknown yet very formidable Invoke The Insult with their   ▒█░
  ░█▒  pipe banging, snake hissing assault on the track ôSnake Biteö.    ▒█░
  ░█▒  The snakes are smart and know the most powerful snakes dwell in   ▒█░
  ░█▒  the land of kFactor. Straight out of Sπo Paulo, Brazil, KFactor   ▒█░
  ░█▒  tears up the phone lines with more ôTelephone Terrorö. Unlike     ▒█░
  ░█▒  Astma, kFactor has no issues with answering the phone with his    ▒█░
  ░█▒  vision of the track. Powerful quirky beats not unlike sounds you  ▒█░
  ░█▒  will hear on his debut double CD also on Electro Aggression       ▒█░
  ░█▒  Records invoke a feeling of security for the snakes as kFactor    ▒█░

  ░█▒  the Mortal Kombat series of video games for the fighter known as  ▒█░

  ░█▒  Armageddon Dildos and Serpents revisit the themes of war we       ▒█░
  ░█▒  heard in the opening chapters of ô600 Pounds Of BodyÆ double CD.  ▒█░
  ░█▒  Armageddon Dildos pound the steel like crazed factory worker.     ▒█░
  ░█▒  The first minute is a repetitive dirge into the mind of a         ▒█░
  ░█▒  factory worker. Over and over repeating the same tasks.           ▒█░
  ░█▒  Occasionally, something different comes around to change the      ▒█░
  ░█▒  mindset for the moment. That moment kicks in about one minute     ▒█░
  ░█▒  into the remix with a glimmer of AD synthwork giving way to more  ▒█░
  ░█▒  intense old school beats accompanied by the caustic throaty       ▒█░
  ░█▒  vocals. The Serpents take another approach to their version of    ▒█░
  ░█▒  ôUnknown Soldierö. We still have the samples, ôAugust 3rd, 1913ö  ▒█░
  ░█▒  & ôDead and Buriedö is chanted as the chorus. The music moves     ▒█░
  ░█▒  more towards what you would except from Serpents as opposed to    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Astma.  Serpents reinvent ôUnknown Soldierö into fast paced       ▒█░
  ░█▒  electro-industrial wonderland of screaming synths and magic       ▒█░
  ░█▒  manipulations to the anatomy of the track.                        ▒█░

  ░█▒  The Psychic Force and Autodafeh deliver two killer remixes for    ▒█░
  ░█▒  the coming of old age track æSuffer And Painö. In the early       ▒█░
  ░█▒  90Æs, The Psychic Force delivered 2 crushing albums on KM-Musik.  ▒█░
  ░█▒  After 1994 they were off the grid as far as releasing music.      ▒█░
  ░█▒  Fortunately their 2 classic albums are reissued in 2015. The      ▒█░
  ░█▒  airy synths breathe a slightly lighter feel this time around to   ▒█░
  ░█▒  ôSuffer And Painö. Autodafeh have several albums going back to    ▒█░
  ░█▒  2008. Autodafeh with their Front 242-ish approach to music        ▒█░
  ░█▒  create a nice remix true to the Autodafeh sound we have come to   ▒█░

  ░█▒  Ekobrottsmyndigheten remix ôPeculatorö with a time stamp of 2     ▒█░

  ░█▒  Anstalt are tapped for a remix of ôCut It Shortö. Anstalt have    ▒█░
  ░█▒  several cassette releases as well as their æBrilliance Without    ▒█░

  ░█▒  only Electro Aggression Records can do, Anstalt return from the   ▒█░
  ░█▒  dead to remix Astma. Old school rivet head Doug Glasser said,     ▒█░
  ░█▒  ôMan! I forgot all about Anstalt. Where have they beenö?  I       ▒█░
  ░█▒  donÆt know the answer, but they do deliver a nice banger of a     ▒█░
  ░█▒  remix. Octolab retaliate with their take on ôCut It Shortö.       ▒█░
  ░█▒  ItÆs a slower beat surrounded with intricate programming that     ▒█░
  ░█▒  will certainly gain attention from the listenerÆs ears. After     ▒█░
  ░█▒  the coffee and the haircuts are complete it is once again time    ▒█░
  ░█▒  for a little fussball! This is  ôA Global Gameö as Astma stated   ▒█░

  ░█▒  their track ôStormö for 2011Æs æOld School ElectrologyÆ 4CD       ▒█░
  ░█▒  compilation. Outside of that they are somewhat of a mystery.      ▒█░
  ░█▒  Ondska keeps the ferocity at maximum levels during this remix.    ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░

  ░█▒  Mrdtc runs this old building, primarily for rentals to the film   ▒█░
  ░█▒  industry. The place is great for the final chase or the showdown  ▒█░
  ░█▒  scene. Mrdtc have many releases on their own label as well as     ▒█░
  ░█▒  Emmo.Biz Records. They add their unique sounds to give a less     ▒█░
  ░█▒  violent and pounding appeal while retaining the old school        ▒█░
  ░█▒  intensity. DRP enter the scene to school Mr. Miller on his        ▒█░
  ░█▒  thoughts to relocating to Japan. ôBody In Japanö reveals a        ▒█░
  ░█▒  barrage of beats and another dimension to AstmaÆs long time       ▒█░
  ░█▒  classic tune. DRP released their legendary æElectro brain 586Æ    ▒█░
  ░█▒  nearly 26 years ago. It is an absolute collectorÆs item and must  ▒█░
  ░█▒  have for any serious EBM fan. Hints of the trademark DRP sound    ▒█░
  ░█▒  can be heard and remind you of classic tracks like ôGo Into       ▒█░
  ░█▒  Ecstasyö and ôEnkephalinö. I always enjoyed the way DRP added a   ▒█░
  ░█▒  little chaos to their tracks, yet everything always seems work    ▒█░
  ░█▒  perfectly! Mr. Miller is set to leave for Japan. He gets into     ▒█░
  ░█▒  his Saab and starts to drive away, when he hears sirens closing   ▒█░
  ░█▒  on his backside. Could it finally be over? Mr. Miller decides to  ▒█░
  ░█▒  go out in a bang. With his radio turned up and tuned in to ESP    ▒█░
  ░█▒  radio he hears the track ôDead Endö and itÆs the remix Pyrroline  ▒█░
  ░█▒  did that seems to hint his road to Japan is really the road to    ▒█░
  ░█▒  nowhere. He does have the open highway to drive until bullets or  ▒█░
  ░█▒  a roadblock eventually stop him. Mr. Miller finds it quite easy   ▒█░
  ░█▒  to get lost in the calming factors of the programming Pyrroline   ▒█░
  ░█▒  is known for. Pyrroline create deep layers that integrate your    ▒█░
  ░█▒  mind into the songs and you become unaware of your surroundings.  ▒█░
  ░█▒  Check out æRuins OutlastÆ from 2013 for a real treat of electro   ▒█░
  ░█▒  immersion. Mr. Miller has reached speeds beyond his abilities to  ▒█░
  ░█▒  control. With law enforcement firing their weapons the Saab       ▒█░
  ░█▒  loses control and rockets off the road into a deeply wooded       ▒█░
  ░█▒  area. Within minutes the police swarm the area. Minutes turn to   ▒█░
  ░█▒  hours and there is no sign of Mr. Miller. He has eluded the law   ▒█░

  ░█▒  Well we have come to the end of the review. æ600 Pounds Of BodyÆ  ▒█░
  ░█▒  and the second disc æAsthmatic Percussions and Contagious         ▒█░
  ░█▒  BasslinesÆ bring a whole hell of a lot of music to take in. The   ▒█░
  ░█▒  attention to detail is a trademark for Electro Aggression         ▒█░
  ░█▒  Records. The handpicked remixers are a common theme in every      ▒█░
  ░█▒  release. Whether itÆs his partnership with minimal electropop     ▒█░
  ░█▒  label ,Nadanna or his very own Electro Aggression Records, Mr.    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Ear, Nader Moumneh works magic to seek out the best remixers and  ▒█░
  ░█▒  even in some cases raising a band from the dead to contribute to  ▒█░
  ░█▒  one of his releases.                                              ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Disc one is an all out EBM blitz. From the first track, to track  ▒█░
  ░█▒  23 there is no let up. The second disc is more of the same. From  ▒█░
  ░█▒  Armageddon Dildos, The Psychic Force, DRP, Plastic Noise          ▒█░
  ░█▒  Experience and Signal Aout 42, many classic acts take part in     ▒█░
  ░█▒  this Astma document. Along with lesser-known acts like the        ▒█░
  ░█▒  powerful Full Contact 69, The Blister Exists and                  ▒█░
  ░█▒  Ekobrottsmyndigheten make this a great way to promote newer or    ▒█░
  ░█▒  unknown acts. Electro Aggression Records almost always cross      ▒█░
  ░█▒  promote their roster by having them remix each other. Serpents,   ▒█░
  ░█▒  Astma and kFactor traded remixes amongst each other for these 3   ▒█░
  ░█▒  EAR releases. Great job EAR with a wonderful line up of guests    ▒█░
  ░█▒  to display their talents on æAsthmatic Percussions and            ▒█░
  ░█▒  Contagious BasslinesÆ remix CD. There is so much material to      ▒█░
  ░█▒  absorb on these 2 discs that it may take some time to experience  ▒█░
  ░█▒  it all. Every song rages from start to end. There is a lot to     ▒█░
  ░█▒  offer from each every one of the 42 tracks. I never had any       ▒█░
  ░█▒  expectations for a highly diverse release. Astma is an old        ▒█░
  ░█▒  school EBM influenced band and they do it well.  I absolutely     ▒█░
  ░█▒  appreciate their sense of humor, which allowed me to have a       ▒█░
  ░█▒  sense of humor throughout this review.                            ▒█░
  ░█▒                                                                    ▒█░
  ░█▒  Grab a cup coffee or even a beer and tune into æ600 Pounds Of     ▒█░
  ░█▒  BodyÆ and let it take you for a wild ride with Astma, Mr. Miller  ▒█░
  ░█▒  and friends!                                                      ▒█░
