Crisp snare drums snap the beat in time while the bass punches its precise groove, the guitars. And it seemed to belong to me. Maybe even discover a new you! The spacey tones of the guitar seamlessly mix with the harder, palm muted riffs, creating a wondrous display of textural sound. Kind of like listening to the great Thelonious Monk. The chubby singer begins to croon half-jokingly about his new girlfriend.

September 21, at 7: The vocals eventually octobef me down like a rushing river carving away age old limestone, the bass chiseling at the lifetime of sedimentary build up, and the drums jack hammering the larger chunks of resistance into silt.
Even the song titles revealed little. I remember that at the time of my introduction to this band that I had no idea what to make of them.
October File
Four disheveled figures emerging from a patch of overgrown weeds, hair flying every which way, clothes that looked like they were slept in, facial expressions of wonderment that they were still breathing, Die Kreuzen epitomized grunge before there ever was such a thing. Man in the Kruezen. It's Been So Long.
Rainy Day Relaxation Road Trip. The music had this aggressive sound, but not in the thundering, double bass drum detuned chugging guitar way. Jazz Latin New Age. I can remember buying October File at Pravda Records in Chicago, running my fingers over the raised lettering and trying to work out just what lay within that enigmatic cover shot of….
So many subtle differences within each song. September 28, at 5: Over the years, October File has become one of those albums that I reach for on those days when no other music will suffice. The Voivod comparison is spot-on and I think so because I've said much the same thing. Pretty sure that the liner notes to KT call out die Kreuzen.

I think the comparison is best for Killing Technology and October File; the bands were pretty divergent before and after.
Their name references crosses, and it's more than appropriate considering the way fiile allowed squalling heavy metal to cross over into their sound, inadvertently setting the stage for grunge acts like Soundgarden and Alice in Chains years later. Live Wire Nikki Sixx. How I stumbled on October File is beyond me. So many different voices.

Die Kreuzen - October File - CD / Vinyl ::
Die Kreuzen fucked with the formula. You know you're old school if you're into Die Kruezen.
Drinking Hanging Out In Love. As it is, I never realized that the guitar work was so otherworldly. The fkle singer begins to croon half-jokingly about his new girlfriend. Maybe even discover a new you!
The first thing that struck me about October File was how much the guitars reminded me of one of my all time favorite bands, Voivod. But I was flie up on something else.
A great and unique band that has been forgotten by too many that should know better. October File revealed a rapidly maturing Die Kreuzenas their hyperactive hardcore had begun to cool into something moody and mysterious.
