MZ412 are a band from Sweden that h as had music reviewed before in this zine and are the originators of black industrial and this is a review of their 1988 album "Macht Durch Stimme" which was re-issued in 2022 by Cold Spring Records.
Home made instruments and industrial style beats start off the album along with some spoken word parts a few seconds later. Power electronics are also a very huge part of the recording while harsh noises can also be heard at times and some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
At times the music also gets very militant sounding while all of the tracks also sound very different from each other. The music also has its ritualistic moments along with some songs also showing the beginnings of what would later evolve into death industrial as well as some tortured voices also being utilized briefly.
On this recording MZ12 brought in an early black/death industrial style that was heavily influenced by the power electronic and noise styles from that time frame. The production sounds very dark while the song themes focus on disturbing and nightmare induced topics.
In my opinion this was another great sounding recording from MZ412 and if you are a f an of black, death industrial and power electronics, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ecaf Dloc" and "Sequela". 8 out of 10.
