Totalitar

The new Spetsnaz release. Quoting Todd Durrant of A Different Drum:

"Spetsnaz "Totalitar" -- Spetsnaz is most widely known as the closest clone of Nitzer Ebb that has ever hit the EBM scene. Having started as a Nitzer Ebb cover band (from what I've been told by Swedish friends), they cracked into the scene with their debut album a couple years ago and created a name for themselves. This new album continues with the slamming beats, repeating bass patterns, and yelled, chanted vocals. Pop in the album when you want to stomp around the room and yell for a while, but don't plan on doing any relaxing by the fireplace with Spetsnaz."

Like you said, it is more Nitzer Ebb than Front 242. I have only heard the single so far!

As usual, the CD shops in Singapore are pathetic, catering mostly to lounge, jazz, blues listeners more than anything else.
