KidneyThieves (1998) - S&M (a Love Song)

 

Why can’t people make music like this anymore?

I mean, whatever happened to edgy sado-maschostic-styled industrial rock music anyway?

When I talk about what I term as the de facto songs in my book, I generally think of the following criterias.

1. How does the song sound sonically?
2. Is the singer actually singing and not trying to sing?
3. How lyrically catchy is the song?
4. Are there any forms of distortions or any forms of layering?
5. Does it actually have a melody or a rhythm?
6. Does the song make me want to go berserk and incite major riots - all in the nude - all around the city?

Finally, the most important criteria of them all…

DOES IT JUST FUCKING RULE AND WILL MOST DEFINITELY ROCK MY UNDERPANTS (exterior underpants wearing also considered) OFF??

As you can see, I don’t ask for much. I am just like everyone else when it comes to music. I just want something that’s off the beaten path and a bit more edgier. A tinge of angst and hatred is also welcomed in any form as well.

The following song I’ve got for download here is what I think is truly the shit in my book. Sung by the band KidneyThieves, “S&M (a Love Song)” off their debut album, “Trickster” is truly, in my opinion, quite interesting to classify. Rather than trying to lump the genre of this sort of music into the tried and true forms of Rock, Industrial, Metal, Gothic, Electronica and the like, I’ll just classify it as…

“Music from the future”.

Sure, it would probably fit into the above genre but I would honestly feel as if I have done a great disservice if I did.

Now enough of this foreplay. It is now time for the curious to download the song and discover if the song is the shit for you as well.

Then again, it could just end up as plain shit to you as well.

KidneyThieves - S&M (a Love Song)

Distant son, Nova fucker
Hit and run to another
Took from you, from me
Lash and caress in between
Hit the target won an animal
Got a piece, a trace, a slip inside
Tore a page from the bind

Handed a twisted sadistic
Wanted you to fix it
Chant, Cry, Moan, Lie
Tender garden bang to dry

Pound the love outta me, beat the love outta me

Best I can do, pleasure/pain
Too close to you, I’ll blow your ash away
Took from you, from me
Brutally

Pound the love outta me, Beat the love outta me
[Catch me if you can, butter a scent on your hand]

Wigs, Whips, Chains tied
You laughed, I cried

All I wanted is all you wanted
