Many things have been said about this band: they were called the “godfathers of techno”, the pioneers of EBM and the forefathers of Electropunk. Yet they only laugh coolly and remain tight-lipped in the face of any attempt to historicize them. Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft - better known as DAF - is a myth. What we know is that they released four albums in a short time span between 1980 and 1982, and that those albums changed the history of music worldwide. Yet DAF’s international renown certainly was not based in the name: Gabi Delgado-López and Robert Görl were never looking for friendship; their expressions were invariably ones of steely, piercing stares, and they presented themselves with a precisely staged iciness that belied the ardour burning inside them.

• Heaven Upside Down

MARILYN MANSON is one of the most dazzling figures in the music world and has not lost any creativity, charisma and shock potential since the beginning of his career in the mid-nineties. In August of last year, when one almost thought it was quiet around him, he released the new track ‘Say10’ and delivered a video clip where he relished a Bible with pleasure, then decapitated a man looking like Donald Trump. The music was brachial, coal-black, hit-suspicious - and reminded many fans of his early masterpieces ‘Antichrist Superstar’ (1996) and ‘Mechanical Animals’ (1998).
