Here is one of the truly classic CMI acts, that already in 1989 released the "Malfeitor" LP. After a four year hiatus the band formerly known as Maschinenzimmer 412 were once again blowing the battle horns in 1995, and returned with a timelessly blasphemous musical statement, the "In Nomine Dei Nostri Satanas Luciferi Excelsi" album.
By that time the restructured and revitalized MZ. 412 had chosen to cruise down the left handed path, a fact that has ever permeated their output: in album titles, cover art, and not least in the songs themselves, recorded as they are during rituals.
By pushing the influences from satanic rites and black metal music to the limit, it resulted in "Burning the temple of god", the ultimate crossover between dark ambience and the metal genre.
This is True Swedish Black Industrial, and these guys aren?t kidding; this is music to either conjure or exorcise your demons to.

Release date: september 13th 2001 "Music that possesses this ability to
by brute force so abruptly alter one's state of mind, can - and must -
never be neglected, not even in 1999." Neither in 2001! This is the
re-release of the classical cult LP from 1989; CMI-07, limited to only
700 copies! A good lesson in both the industrial and the CMI history.
Bonus tracks include one taken from the UPD org compilation CD from
1991, as well as 2 previously unreleased demotracks from 1988!
Infernal Affairs
After 7 years of hard work MZ. 412 finally deliver their swan-song
"Infernal Affairs".
After the prelude "Domine Rex Inferum" this is the ultimate new album
of MZ.412, nothing but pure bombastic evil manifested in explicit
sounds; and it is terrifyingly beautiful! As always, based on the dark
arts, the sound is classic MZ.412 taken to the extreme and beyond.
Whatever dark fetishism you're into, it's all here; from abysmal
ambient parts, heavy pounding industrial dance hits, to grand
orchestral maneuvers. The Swedish Legion returns to dominate the scene
once again, with an album that clearly defines what true black
industrial music is all about.... After inventing the style that
degenerated an entire genre in the early 90´s, they show once
again
that they are here to lead the way for future generations....
Yes, you may think you've heard it before - but never ever this
powerful!
No, we're not here to convince you - We're telling you!
MZ.412 are the original home for members of many wellknown projects in
the electronic scene. The CD comes in an extremely dark and very
MZ-stylished embossed 6-panel digipak.
