Combat Shock is the third studio album by Swamp Terrorists, released in 1993 by Alfa International and Contempo Records. [1] [2] A music video for "Pale Torment" was produced for four thousand dollars and televised by MTV Brasil and MTV Europe. [3]
Aiding & Abetting gave Combat Shock a positive review, saying "it's catchy as hell, heavy enough to attract the headbanger and with good enough beats to work in a club." [4] A critic for Keyboard concurred, saying "behind vocalist Ane H.'s snarling and gargling, STR kicks nasty but imaginative sequences" and that "power guitar samples dominate, but the occasional horn stab, light drum hit, or even shuffle beat adds an element of unpredictability to the din." [5] Industrialnation also issued a positive review, crediting the band with achieving a fresh take on a sound that "KMFDM has become so well known for, without sounding like a rip." [6]
All tracks are written by Michael Antener and Ane Hebeisen, except "Pale Torment" with lyrics by Fred Werren
