scary industrial metal fest/ego likeness

[LstatShaft at aol.com]

Ego Likeness are about as EBM as Curve, which is to say, pretty much not at 
all.   Their Dragonfly album is very trip hop in the vein of Massive Attack; 
the newer album blends in a lot more goth rock and alt-electronic elements, not 
unlike Collide or Curve.

When I heard them in Philly a little over a week ago, they were nothing more 
than generic oontz-oontz-oontz bullshite. I remember the last time they 
played in Pittsburgh (with Voltaire at that burlesque thingee at the Rex, I 
believe it was) they had a *much* more interesting, trip-hop-influenced 
sound--a little heavy, a little ethereal, and a lot of fun. Their latest 
single, though, "Water for the Dead," is a completely cliched EBM 
number...which is sad, because I rather like the melody and the Dune 
references in the lyrics. Idaknow
