Zombies Under Stress ‎– "Fanatism & Hysteria" (6de Kolonne c-90) 1985



Zombies Under Stress, no not a reference to the Zombie Banks that have been artificially subsidized and are immune, apparently, to the 'Free Market' that we are forced to live in! This is the Dutch Industrial band from Eindhoven(?), who released a few cassettes around 1983-6. This one, I am reliably informed, is their best one, from 1985; you can find two other Zombies Under Stress cassettes on the excellent Wet Dreams blog, here.

A very great and listenable guide to the Industrial idiom , from clattering distorted beats,noisy overloaded synthesiser racket,to found dialogue cut-ups,and pure visceral noise. All recorded on fuzzy red zoned cassette tape,the perfect Industrial medium.
