Rated: * * * * *
I have lost the count of the number of studio albums by evergreen German industrial rock band KMFDM whose energetic enamel doesn't seem to know erosion even if they have been active for more than thirty years. A solid fan-base as well as the pervasively nefarious political dynamics of our age which fed their angritude could certainly be the most relevant factors for their inflexible creative force so that a title like "Our Time Will Come" sounds like athe definitive self-mockery about their longevity, even if the cover artwork that got traditionally designed by Aidan "Brute!" Hughes (another key factor of KMFDM logevity!) could let you surmise a possible paraphrase of the well-known slogan "Our day will come". In spite of the electronic nuances and the occasional dashing of funkier riffs on tracks like "Get The Tongue Wet" and "Shake The Cage!" (not a cover of Morning Parade' sond for PES2015...) they inoculated in many moments of this release, they kept the sonic distinguishing marks of KMFDM sound almost intact and I might even say that "Our Time Will Come" is maybe the album which includes more similarities and consonances to their first steps on Wax Trax! that particularly resurfaces on the lines of songs like "Brainwashed", "Playing God", "Blood vs Money" - a track where Sascha Konietzko sounds like singing over the same hoarseness of Killing Joke's Jaz Coleman on "Democracy" - or "Respekt" (ft.Tom "Tritoxin" Stanzel). Someone could surmise it's a clue of a vague lack of originality, but I honestly can not imagine that KMFDM could throw something different from what they're actually forging. They would be something else and I'm pretty sure they would not have lasted so long...
