\"Cocksure\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Metropolis <\/p>\n

By Doktor John<\/p>\n

Lovers of old-school industrial who are waiting for a modern, novel reinterpretation of their genre will find TVMALSV by the irreverent band, Cocksure, to be right up their proverbial alley. Brainchild of Chris Connelly (KMFDM, Ministry, Pigface, Revolting Cocks) and Jason Novak (Cracknation and Czar) with guest appearance by Richard 23 (Front 242), this nine-track album contains all the elements they are listening for and more.<\/p>\n

From the first cut, \u201cSkeemy Gates,\u201d to the pseudo-reggae finale, \u201cCokane in My Brain,\u201d listeners are served up a techno-industrial slurry of mesmerizing rhythms and distorted vocals serving up cheerfully aggressive rap at various cadences in a matrix of organized, sonic chaos. <\/p>\n

Echoes of the ancestor bands appeal to and entice the fans of Ministry, Front 242 and especially Revco, but Cocksure takes the audience a couple of steps further with a harsh, industrial-strength version of the rap style associated with hip-hop. Nasty topics, hoarse and rapid-fire vocals are suitably wedded to relentless mechanical beats and occasionally melodious background noise.<\/p>\n

Dictionary.com defines \u201ccocksure\u201d as \u201coverconfident.\u201d The Urban Dictionary offers a more vulgar definition. I\u2019m sure Connelly and Novak self-identify with both.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
