Following their independent success, Nitzer Ebb signed with Geffen Records for "Belief," a more polished yet still uncompromising collection of techno-infused EBM. The album features a harder, more driving sound than their earlier work, solidifying their reputation for confrontational dancefloor anthems.
- Recorded in 1988 at SWF Studios in London, "Belief" was produced by the band alongside Flood.
- The album's lead single, "Shame," became a notable track in underground clubs and on alternative radio, though it did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
- Despite the band's reputation for intensity, "Belief" was praised for its melodic undercurrents and accessible, albeit dark, electronic arrangements.
Nitzer Ebb is a British electronic music duo known for their aggressive, minimalist sound, often associated with the EBM (Electronic Body Music) and industrial scenes. "Belief" marked their major label debut, arriving as the band was reaching a new level of international recognition in the late 1980s techno and new wave landscape.
