Lustmord on the current state of industrial music.
Q: What's your opinion on industrial music and the whole bunch of bands that play soft electronics or death metal and add 1-2 samples or use some effects to make their music sound harsher and describe themselves as "industrial bands"? Does industrial music lose its harshness because of the people who are too lazy to take it as it is?
Lustmord: I have no real opinion about such nonsense. They just don't get the point and they're not worth thinking about.
Q: Is making music an unlimited act then? Maybe the copycats are on time because everything was said and done all around music? Have you noticed styles keep repeating every decade with some mutated add-ons?
Lustmord: They do to a point, but only because people are lazy. There are those doing something different and interesting (as well as different but not interesting), it's just harder to be aware of them with all the other noise.
Q: Is there any place for such art and industrial ventures like those created by the 80's Throbbing Gristle, SPK Current 93 or Nurse With Wound in contemporary society?
Lustmord: I'm not sure if there is, what was happening then was very much a product of it's time, and it's more important that somebody new and younger comes along and shows the old farts how it should be done, though unfortunately that isn't happening. People are more interested in copying rather than taking an idea further or into a new direction. Having said that, it is good to see Throbbing Gristle getting recognition these days and a new generation having the chance to see them live. And Nurse With Wound never did have a place and it's good that Steve is still doing his thing.
