Some reviews of the original pressing. No bonus artist tracks, or
the sololive material was on the copies reviewed.
...This deplorable concoction is housed in a sealed plastic petri dish,
which in turn is wrapped in a plastic biohazard bag. Musically, this
abortion sounds like September 11th. Buy it!...
---Stooley Carmichael/Ethnic Cleansing (Pop Star)
Purist Magazine
This is noisy drone music with frequent distorted vocals screaming through
the unremitting chaos Saw blade screeching and panning clatter claim most
of thetime on this disc, with brief moments of stillness breaking up the
madness. This will make your hair stand on end and grit your teeth.
RECTRIX
Feedback growing, tension building, a circular saw buzzes on a metal
table. An ambulance lays across a guard rail, teetering over an edge. More vocals,
gruff distortion, electronic buzzing and a growing paranoia, the vocals again
attack the listener from different points, with different effects, adding alot of
power to this severe electronic attack. A drum machine starts malfunctioning,
sputtering out abrupt rolls and tearing at the speakers. Unrelenting. Track
three brings us back to fading feedback, some glass clanging. Electronic
static bursts reminds the listener that the worst/best is yet to come. The
distortion,feedback, and glass clanging begin to form a rhythm of their own. This artist
is reminescent of more traditional industrial elements, like maybe Mental
Destruction, but with a clear noise aesthetic. I hesitate to say "death
industrial", becuase this is much more varied than most death industrial
acts.The loops are there, the vocals are there, but the music comes together in a
much more versatile and therefore more powerful context. This is an
artists towatch, some good studio production would turn this group into a force to be
seriously considered as a force in electronic music.
