MZ.412 is one of the household names on CMI, so it was only a matter of time before the side project Folkstorm would end up there as well, after some excursion to the Old Europa Cafe and Cold Spring labels. Folkstorm allegedly appeared as a reaction to the more refined studio approach of MZ.412, thus applying a shift of the compositional modus operandi, a return to the basics. Folkstorm represents a loving nod to the industrial old school: buzzing synth noise, crude drum machine rhythms, and dubious speech samples. "For the Love Of Hate" puts even more emphasis on the vocals than the previous albums, although Kremator Nordvargr's voice is rendered unintelligble by all the effects. Buy this album, and get prepared to time-warp to the halcyon days of early industrialism.
