Chemlab

April 14th, 2025

Hello, today I'd like to talk about a band I like Chemlab.

What I mean by that is, bands that either have practically no fanbase or any online presence at all except for a few mentions on a reddit post and a Wikipedia page. A great example for me is Chemlab. They're a 90's to early 2000's band, with a lot of great industrial music. They have a wiki page and I saw a few small reddit threads discussing them. I thought it was really fascinating because their music is insanely good (to me) and I thought it was a shame that their music isn't as popular as it is. But a fascinating phenomenon is that sometimes when I'm scrolling on TikTok, I'll see someone's profile picture is the album cover of Chemlab's album East Side Militia; I don't know if there is a fanbase and I'm just not educated on it, or if the person who has the profile picture thought it was just a cool photo.

Thanks for listening to me ramble, I hope whoever reads this has a good night.
