Review: Zombies Under Stress is a one-man project that dates back to the mid 1980s. Fanatism & Hysteria is the outfit's main LP, and it's still considered one of the defining works of the whole EBM era, surpassing even the likes of Nitzer Ebb in the minds of certain diggers. Berlin's Mannequin is the perfect place to have some of its tunes reissued, and "Stalin" is the one of the tunes from that original LP that still sounds so damn fresh to this day thanks to that raw, distorted, pseudo-acid bassline conquering its full 5+ minutes; the remix from Seven Sisters Of Putin offers a straighter, more club-friendly version.
