I know that some of Wappenbund's music is militaristic, but are there any other bands that are too?

Never heard Wappenbund but from a quick search it seems it's industrial with a somewhat militaristic sound. What came to my mind right away was Kreuzweg OST. They are probably close to the style Wappenbund is. They sample a lot of movies and what not to get their sound. You'll hear industrial sounds along with the sounds of orchestras, marching drums, soldiers and what not speaking. Pretty much all the vocal samples are in German.

If you're looking for something with just a militant attitude though. Check out the Black Metal band Antaeus. They have a real militant feel and their songs are often about fighting wars in the name of their beliefs.

Primus

Some Laibach, especially the album "Opus Dei".

Toby Keith.

Martial Industrial is what you're looking for, wikipedia has a decent article on it.

What?


Opus Dei was the point they stopped doing martial industrial; you'll want to try earlier releases like Neu Konservatiw (I think that's how you spell it) and Nova Akropola.

Personally I think Kreuzwig Ost is a little boring, but I haven't heard all that much really. They take inspiration from old war films and documentaries and write their own scores for them.

My personal favourite is (the now defunct) Sophia (Pride, off of Spite). Both Herbstwerk and Spite are brilliant albums in two completely different ways, and Deconstruction of the World is good but a lot less martial. I'm yet to track down a copy of Sigillum Militum.

Another good one is Von Thronstahl, but a lot of their songs are hit and miss. Sometimes it's folk, sometimes it's classical and sometimes it's just odd. I like most of their stuff, but some of it seems a bit bland compared to the more spectacular tracks. They also allude to fascism a lot without directly stating nazi connections, so you might as well avoid them if that bothers you. Try the latest album, BELLUM SACRUM BELLUM?!.

The Protagonist is another good one on CMI, similar to Wappenbund but less... Epic. Lots of neoclassical orchestral pieces, not too much singing, a few verses from obscure texts. I think they only have the one album out, Songs of Experience. I know he's done previous projects, but I don't have the time to track them down right now.

Other names you might want to look out for:

Les Joyaux de la Princesse - less relating to war itself, more about the repercussions and conditions surrounding it.

Karjalan Sissit - Similar to Sophia and The Protagonist, but more ambient.

Turbund Sturmwerk - Pretty well regarded, not my cup of tea though.

Puissance - It's been a while, but I liked what I heard. I think I'll load it up again...


PS. I thought I had more of these uploaded. I'll get around to that sometime.


***Fuck me, forgot about Der Blutharsch and Death in June. They're more folk music, but damn they're good. I'll rant about them some other time; they're probably the easiest ones to get a hold of.

Laibach.

Homicide Division.

some of KMFDM is like that.. the xtort cd has some pretty decent 'army songs'

PLUS, they ARE industrial metal/dance.. so it makes sense.

Any album by Guapo. They aren't industrial, instead are much more jazz and prog rock influenced, but their music is definitely martial to its core. As most zeuhl is.

My Chemical Romance and 50 Cent.

You're right, but I recommended Opus Dei because those albums would be pretty inaccessible to most people.
