"06:21:03:11 Up Evil" Album Description:

Released in 1993, Front 242's '06:21:03:11 Up Evil' stands as a landmark album in the Belgian electronic band's discography. This 12' LP vinyl record marked a return to their earlier, harsher sound, following a more melodic direction on previous releases.

A Return to Roots

After critical acclaim for albums like 'Tyranny >For You<,' Front 242 opted for a more aggressive approach with '06:21:03:11 Up Evil.' The album title itself is cryptic, adding to the industrial mystique. Fans of the band's early work were pleased with the return to the band's signature blend of electronic body music (EBM) and industrial elements. Tracks like 'Crapage,' 'Waste,' and 'Religion' pulsate with distorted rhythms and Jean-Luc De Meyer's characteristically abrasive vocals.

Industrial Soundscapes

'06:21:03:11 Up Evil' is not without its experimentation. Songs like 'Stratoscape' and 'Hymn' showcase the band's ability to craft atmospheric soundscapes, while 'Mutilate' even incorporates samples from the 1975 film 'A Boy and His Dog.' This diversity keeps the album engaging, even as it maintains a dark and confrontational mood.

A Superior Listening Experience

For those seeking the complete experience, the vinyl format offers superior sound quality compared to digital releases, capturing the raw power of the band's music.
