Freaks is the first full-length release by the German industrial music band X Marks the Pedwalk.

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"[1] and the album as a whole has been described as a "unique fusion of industrial and techno...".
