Monday Mix 180528: Foetus, Depeche Mode, Controlled Bleeding, Nine Inch Nails, Prurient, Brighter Death Now







The vulnerable, "open wound" side of industrial / darkpop.

Putting BDN right after Prurient is structurally similar to what Meat Beat Manifesto does on "Kneel & Buzz." Intense, driving, noisy percussion ratchets up tension and the release follows.

Still intense (a slightly too-high tone in "K&B" and The Cover-Up is itself moody, dark and tense), it operates as a cool down, or a denouement to the climax.
