Excessive Force (XF) and Gentle Death!

Alright ladies and gents, Excessive Force and the lovely, Sascha Konietzko, are at it again… sort of. As of NOW a contemplation CD of their most beloved songs have come out on their latest album called “Excessive Force-Gentle Death”!
Before I release the track-listing of the new CD, I’ll give a bit of a background on Sascha and Excessive Force (XF).
Feeling the project and its result very freeing, Sascha found himself wanting to return to that XF format (which was a decidedly different process from making a KMFDM record) in mid-1992. Once again laboring on his own and with various friends in Chicago and Hamburg, Sascha crafted another genre-bending collection of songs. The most defining collaborations on the release are the tracks featuring the vocal talents of Liz Torres, the Queen of Chicago House music. The Gentle Death album and Blitzkrieg single were released by Wax Trax! in mid-1993 to the delight of industrial music fans and dance-floor demons alike.
Excessive Force has remained dormant since that time, until now. Their original releases, having become much sought after items since going out of print a decade ago, will be made available once again via Metropolis Records.
Both XF albums have been digitally re-mastered, the accompanying CD booklets reprint the original album and single art inside along with extensive liner notes, never before printed lyrics for each song, previously unavailable complete recording information and never before released or rarely seen photos of XF. The two CDs comprise the entirety of Excessive Force’s output. The Conquer Your World CD now contains the Conquer Your House single and the Gentle Death CD contains the Blitzkrieg single.
Excessive Force is a violent peace that is set to conquer the world once again.
Now… as promised, here is the listing of this glorious CD!
01. Violent Peace
02. Blitzkrieg
03. Divebomb
04. Gentle Death
05. Pigfaced
06. Deperate State

08. Leather Clad Dub
09. Blitzkrieg
10. Stormraiser
11. Violent Peace II
12. Blitzkrieg III

As Always, Here is A Fix

“Violent Peace” is one of the most awesome tracks the Kaptain ever brought us. I’m excited to hear how much more awesome it is remastered!

I agree deusdiabolus, “Violent Peace” has always been close to my heart as well as “blitzkrieg” and “Queen Bitch”.
I’m still antsy to get the CD and see what the booklet has in store. UGH I hate waiting lol.
