The turn of the New Year has seen a couple of interesting
announcements come from the world of Super Groups. That strange realm in which
shining examples of musicianship come together to make turgid messes of albums,
or at least mostly. These two announcements however, seem promising.
Till Lindemann of Rammstein and
Peter TÃĪgtgren of Pain and Hypocrisy have formed Lindemann which makes it sound like Till’s vanity project. Considering that both have a
past in Industrial it is not beyond the realms of doubt that it’ll be a Pain/Rammstein hybrid.
It also reaffirms the latter groups break period. It looks like Lindemann and Richard Kruspe's Emigrate will
be all that fans of the German Techno Metalers will be getting instead of a
core release. The duo already have a Facebook page up, but that’s really all
the information that is currently available.
While a meeting
of Industrial leviathans is interesting, the reformation of Animosity is infinitely more so. Okay
well it’s not QUITE a reformation of one of Deathcore’s forgotten heavy weight
champions, but it is damn close. Ex-The
Faceless Bassist Alex Webster, joins fellow Ex-Animosity members Navene Koperweis
(also previously drummer for Animals As
Leaders) and Guitarist Frank Costa in a new project named Entheos. Vocal duties are taken Chaney Crabb, probably only known for
auditioning for Veil of Maya that one time. It is
exciting stuff and many have been praying for something like this ever since Brewer announced
his departure from The Faceless earlier
this year. This is probably as close as we’re gonna get to a full on Animosity reunion so let’s be thankful.
The clip bellow shows what we’ve got to look forward to:
