Very.. Mortal Kombat theme song 'inspired'.

3. Dare To Care
4. Equality
5. A Word From Dave

7. Here's Ragewar

Les Jeunes - Plug

Looking at the credits, no idea who Fred and Duke are, but Raph is Raphaël Rastelli who's done some nice things along his career, and now active in von Stroheim. Big Jock played with Raph in a group called Nutshell.
They started up around '87-'88 and that sums up what I could find about these guys.. pretty straightforward 'industrial' rock/alternative metal à la Brussels. Casual '90s album, has its highs and lows.

1. Suck My Plug
2. Comme A L'Hôpital
3. Violence (Non Merci)
4. Tetsuo
5. Rapburger
6. Encore Une Journée
7. Vivisectie
8. Asphalte
9. Cocaine
10. Ce Soir
11. St-Nicolas
12. Pastor Osvaldo
13. Libre!
14. Josette
15. Petit Martin
16. Fée Du Logis
17. Ce Soir (E! Mix)

Abt 409 - Shiver

The only album by the new line up of this Swiss group, including future The Young Gods drummer, Bernard Trontin. I personally prefer their '80s material, primitive industriallish post punk, though this one is pretty good as well, presenting more open-minded, variety of sounds.

1. Case Report
2. Time Lag
3. Checkmate
4. Glassblowers
5. Selfish
6. Red Dust
7. Snakebite
8. Synergy
9. Incorporated

Shiver

I didn't bother uploading older releases cause I think you can easily find them online, but if anyone needs a link, ask for it in the comments.
I myself am looking for their 1989 cassette, so do share with us if you have a rip of that one.

Slave One - Repulsor


If you enjoyed the Public Hanging post, here's another 90s industrial metal album with an awful artwork.
A Rochester duo, they've already released a demo called Uglify in 1994, under the name Golgotha, a bit more death metal less electronic than this one here, but both are solid releases.

1. Sated
2. Hybrid Strain
3. Cesspool
4. Repulsor
5. Catalyst
6. Static
7. Private Traps
8. Threadlock
9. Apart From Me

Lossless rip
