n the festering underbelly of the industrial music scene, where the stench of conformity chokes the life out of originality, Incubite emerged in 2009 from the decaying cityscape of Essen, Germany. Spearheaded by the enigmatic Neill Oblivion (Neill Freiwald), this aggrotech outfit didn’t just enter the scene—they detonated within it, leaving a radioactive crater of sound that still smolders today.
The Genesis of Incubite: A Toxic Conception
Formed in 2009, Incubite quickly became a venomous presence in the electro-industrial realm. Neill Oblivion, the architect behind this sonic weapon, infused the project with a lethal dose of techno, EBM, and metal influences. Their debut demo, Aphasie, introduced the world to their abrasive sound, with tracks like “Muschitanz” becoming anthems for those disillusioned with sanitized club music.
“Riot Trigger”: An Anthem for the Disenchanted
Released as part of the Collision Course EP in 2012, “Riot Trigger” is a sonic Molotov cocktail hurled at the establishment. The track’s relentless beats and scathing lyrics serve as a rallying cry for those suffocating under societal hypocrisy. Lines like “Fight the system! Fuck all the lies! Fight religion! Fuck all your pride!” aren’t just lyrics; they’re a manifesto for the enraged and disillusioned.
Musically, “Riot Trigger” is an assault on the senses. The aggressive synths and pounding rhythms create an atmosphere of chaos, perfectly encapsulating the song’s theme of rebellion. It’s a track that doesn’t just invite you to the dance floor; it drags you there, demanding you confront the very structures that seek to control and pacify.
“Glowstix, Neon & Blood”: The Dark Rave Manifesto
From their 2011 album Toxicum, “Glowstix, Neon & Blood” is a track that revels in the hedonistic underworld of industrial rave culture. The song’s title alone conjures images of neon-drenched dance floors smeared with the raw essence of humanity. It’s a celebration of the nocturnal, the deviant, and the beautifully grotesque.
The track’s pulsating beats and eerie melodies create a soundscape that’s both intoxicating and unsettling. It’s a journey into a world where the boundaries between pleasure and pain blur, where the dance floor becomes a sanctuary for those who thrive in the shadows. “Glowstix, Neon & Blood” isn’t just a song; it’s an invitation to lose oneself in the dark ecstasy of the night.
Incubite’s Legacy: A Short-Lived Inferno
Despite their incendiary presence, Incubite’s flame burned briefly but brightly. After releasing Toxicum in 2011 and the Collision Course EP in 2012, the band disbanded in 2014 due to time constraints. However, their impact on the industrial scene remains indelible. They challenged the norms, spat in the face of mediocrity, and left a legacy that’s as provocative as it is influential.
The Industrial Scene: A Breeding Ground for Rebellion
Incubite’s music is a testament to the power of industrial music as a platform for dissent. In a world where mainstream music often feels like a manufactured product designed to placate the masses, bands like Incubite serve as a stark reminder of music’s potential to provoke, challenge, and inspire. Their tracks aren’t just songs; they’re weapons aimed at the heart of complacency.
