Front 242 is a pioneering Belgian electronic body music group that came into prominence during the 1980s. During their most active period (effectively ending in 1993 with the albums 06:21:03:11 UP EVIL and 05:22:09:12 OFF) they were influential to many industrial and electronic artists, coining the term electronic body music (EBM) to describe their music. History The origin of Front 242 should be understood within the rise of industrial music, which originated in England in 1975 with the first performances of Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle. These revolutionary groups introduced elements of style later taken up by Front 242 such as electronic instrumentation, overwhelming percussion often with found objects, and looped samples of found soundbites. Going back earlier, these innovations can be seen as an extension of the work of William S.

Is this the kind of work you'd like to do?
Tonight I meet my friends
Together we celebrate...
The body mutilated
Another mutilated body
We have agreed to try hypnosis
Have you gone completely mad?
I wake up freezing bleeding in the basement
Oh my head, I don't remember anything
I guess the night was exciting
Listen carefully!
When I'm clear I happen to regret
All the losses I will never retrieve
Hey you, hey me, carcass in the mirror
As hard as a rock and selfish to the core
Water, water everywhere
I've been waiting for the good times
I nostri sogni sono sempre presenti
All the bodies mutilated in the same obscene manner
