With their debut album Welcome to Gestrikland, KOMMANDO XY absolutely stands in the tradition of great Swedish EBM bands such as POUPPEE FABRIKK, SPETSNAZ or SCAPA FLOW. “Gestrikland” is the name of a region in Eastern Sweden. It is home to the two members of KOMMANDO XY as well as their source of musical Inspiration. But those who expect dreamy folk music will be taught a different lesson with ?Welcome to Gestrikland?. Harsh oldschool EBM, programmed by Gustav Jansson (member of STURM CAFE), and the typical roaring voice of the singer Joke Mohlund make very clear that Swedish EBM is marching again! Ruthless, hard-nosed, electronic!
