MP3DB.pro - Menschdefekt - The Human Parasite (2010)

MENSCHDEFEKT was established in Germany as a solo project of
Dominik R. in 2004. In February of 2009, Fredrik became a
permanent member of the lineup, as lyricist and vocalist.
Stylistically the sound mainly moves between electro, industrial
and gothic. However, MENSCHDEFEKT are also influenced by
different genres such as trance, futurepop and others. The
lyrics are deliberately constructed to be socially critical and
provocative in order to reflect the name 'Menschdefekt'.
Fredrik's vocals are aggressive, and usually significantly
distorted. The lyrics deal with such topics as war, nationalism/
fascism, murder, consumer consumption and our wasteful society.
The human psyche plays a major role in the development of the
lyrics. Movie quotes placed in the songs add to their bizarre
quality, conveying a sense of insanity and absurdity.

MENSCHDEFEKT's first album, "Realitaetsverlust" was produced and
distributed in 2006, as the result of request from a friend's
request for the album to be made. The second album
"Degeneration" followed in the middle of 2007, showcasing even
clearer song structures and a more sophisticated sound.
MENSCHDEFEKT went on to win the AESTHETIC PERFECTION Remix
Contest in March of 2008 with their version of "Schadenfreude"
should have appeared on the album "A Violent Emotion", but the
bonus CD which was expected to contain the remix was never
published by Bractune/Out of Line (although the remix does
appear on the Japanese Limited Edition of the album from Death
Watch Asia).

Since gaining first place in this remix competition,
MENSCHDEFEKT's popularity has risen astronomically. The song
"Stalingrad" was created in late summer of 2008, from the mutual
cooperation between MENSCHDEFEKT, STAHLNEBEL and BLACK SELKET,
and proved to be MENSCHDEFEKT's much-needed breakthrough. The
track was soon playing across the dancefloors, and in a flash
national as well as international clubs had jumped on the
bandwagonIt is also played on different webradio programs. In
August 2009 MENSCHDEFEKT finally got signed to Infacted
Recordings for the release of their first official album, "The
Human Parasite".
