Belgian band The Juggernauts is the most important rejuvenators of the
classic Electronic Body Music 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. Few contemporary bands manage to
channel the spirit of early EBM as brutally effective as the Belgian duo
on its debut “The Juggernauts Are Coming.” 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. While The
Juggernauts share the spirit of bands like the early Front 242 or Nitzer
Ebb, they never fall into the retro-trap, providing the prime father of
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 Electronic Body Music. The Juggernauts
are coming!
