Whether the end of the world is as nigh as some prophets of doom predict or otherwise, there can be little doubt that we currently live in tempestuous times. Art has a tendency to reflect its environment—therefore in the aftermath of the “Occupy” protests, continued rioting across Europe, the ongoing “Arab Spring” and the sabre-rattling across the Straits of Hormuz, it should come perhaps as no surprise that Detroit Diesel have chosen “Coup d’Etat” as the title of their new album.Within the space of just one year this Canadian harsh EBM duo’s debut album “Terre Humaine” already established them as one of the key threats to the current leaders of the dark electro scene. Instantly licensed by DWA to Infacted Recordings for Europe, “Terre Humaine” garnered rich praise from fans and press worldwide—and continues to outsell every other DWA title to this day.In April, Detroit Diesel headed over to Europe for their first-ever tour—taking in Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Russia, Greece and Resistanz Festival in the UK—and taking with them the new album “Coup d’Etat”. Now Vendetta Music is proud to present the North American Edition of “Coup d’Etat”, under exclusive license from DWA!Mixing and mastering comes from Kolja Trelle of Soman, who brings a rich resonance to the bass end of these club-friendly cuts.For the Vendetta version, we turned to 2 massive stars of the Metropolis Records roster—Aesthetic Perfection and God Module—plus German noise-masters Xotox, for remixes exclusive to this North American Edition.Released June, 2012 on Vendetta Music.Track Listing:
