Reports of their demise have been greatly exaggerated - the North has risen again. Close to five years since their last record, Leeds denizens Autobahn re-enter the fray with the release of their third record, Ecstasy of Ruin, via Tough Love. Half a decade is both a long time and no time at all: forever changes while some things remain eternal… So it goes that Autobahn may have re-emerged with many of the hallmarks of their characteristic blend of industrial post-punk intact, but under the bonnet they’re a much leaner, more focused machine. Autobahn 3.0. For fans of: Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, PIL, EBM, Skinny Puppy, Wax Trax.
