I can remember my first encounter with en, it was the fall of 91. i was 15 years old, helping a friend strip wallpaper. he was much older then me (23), so knew alot more then me about music. at the time i was rebelious, listening to harcore punk and the rottenist of death metal. he popped in strategies of archetecture 1 into the tape deck and said, "are you ready". yeah, whatever. i know whats up. the first blast of jackhamers filled the room and my eyes widened and jaw dropped. i was in shock, complete. never had i emagined music being so raw, so powerfull, so energetic as e.n. needless to say i fell in love. they completly changed the way i precieve music. i'd draw their logo anywhere i could. on my school note books, desks, chairs, walls, sharpie it on my hand or arm. i was obsessed. after purchasing drawings of patient ot when i was 16, i found the crowning point of their career. this album seemed the most twisted. the most disturbed. from the pounding bass of abfackeln, the mentaly ill hospitalstische kinder-der vernichtung and the haunting armenia (my favorite song by e.n. to date) just what a teenager needed. everything to scare the parents and surronding adults alike. even the band i was in became completely obsessed with e.n. we began rummaging for random pieces of metal. stealing huge metal grated carts from the neighboring jewel store (during the bulls half-time, when they were in the championships), those green boxes you see on the side of the road with telephone wires in it and stuff. even a bulldozer claw (sadly the cops came and chassed us away, they were very baffled as to why someone would want something like that, so we told them to make music with, which confused them evern more). we began writing songs with our found objects and encorperated them into our live set (we were a hardcore punk/metal band) needless to say, it wasnt accepted to well. This album is a must. this band is crutial in existance. mainstream is robbing the art from music. albums like this need to stay vibrant and utilaized for the sake of the future of music. And i carry the mark on my arm as well. had it tattooo when i was 21. that logo is a reminder to me of how much i love music and what it meant to me as a teenager. a reminder that there is no boundries in music and art in general. and those who say otherwise know nothing of what art truly is.
