Freak
A freak is a person who is physically deformed or transformed due to an extraordinary medical condition or body modification. This definition was first attested with this meaning in the 1880s as a shorter form of the phrase " freak of nature", itself a broader term meaning " whimsy or caprice of nature", attributed at least as far back as 1847. The term's original neutral connotation became entirely negative during the 20th century; therefore, ''freak'' with its literal meaning of "abnormally developed individual" is viewed purely as a pejorative today. However, the term is also recently used playfully to refer to an enthusiast or obsessive person. Usage Freak saw usage as jargon by promoters and performers of freak shows, though its use in this sense has decreased along with the popularity of freak shows. One well-known example of this word was in reference to Joseph Merrick, the "Elephant Man." As a jargon, side-show freaks were classified into two groups: ''natural freaks' ...

Freaks (X Marks The Pedwalk Album)
''Freaks'' is the first full-length release by the German industrial music band X Marks the Pedwalk. It was originally released by Zoth Ommog in Europe as both an LP and CD, and was later released by Metropolis Records in North America with slightly different artwork and track list. Summary ''Freaks'', which was preceded by the "Abattoir" single, expanded on an already well-established sound for the band. Although it was their first full-length LP, the duo of Sevren Ni-arb and Regan Eracs had released three non-album singles plus "Abattoir", all through Germany's Zoth Ommog record label. However, this is the only full-length X Marks the Pedwalk release with Regan Eracs, who left after the production of "Cenotaph", a single which followed ''Freaks''.

The song "Abattoir" is hailed by Sevren Ni-arb as the "breakthrough for XMTP" and the album as a whole has been described as a "unique fusion of indu ...
