The Juggernauts - The Juggernauts Are Coming

2016-07-12 (News)

Belgian band The Juggernauts are the most important rejuvenators of the classic EBM sound. The debut album "The Juggernauts Are Coming" features club-compatible tunes built on a minimalist foundation of beats, sequencer and shouts. Like the name-inspiring symbol for an unstoppable destructive force, the music of The Juggernauts blasts out of the speakers like an energetic stronghold of beats, bass and wrath. On "The Juggernauts Are Coming" the band use thudding drum machines and rumbling low frequencies accompany front man Borg while he shouts all the anger, cynicism and social criticism out of his system. The Juggernauts never fall into the retro-trap, providing underground dance music with a refreshingly harsh and modern approach. With songs like the tried and tested club-hit "Phoenix", it is about time for a real renaissance of EBM.
