But not before Attak builds on the territory the more electronic-experimental MDFMK set out to explore. Pumping up big, meaty beats-per-minute are tracks like "Urban Monkey Warfare" and "Superhero," propelling frenetic tempos over Lucia Cifarelli's ghostly yet sexy vocals. But that doesn't mean glowsticks are required. The totalitarian menace of "Sturm and Drang" and "Skurk" returns to the clamor of 1993's Extort, while "Dirty" draws its strength from the unbendable alloy forged by sandpaper guitar riffs and haunting synths. Eighteen years after KMFDM's cassette-only Opium debut (which the band will rerelease this year on CD), this angle of Attak will keep the tradition going.
