Can you believe they’ve been around for nearly ten years? Ten years of torturing metal with occasional abusive electronics and ugly noise. Their entire philosophy can be easily interpreted from their songs titles: “Submit,” “Insecurity Blanket,” “Depression Obsession,” and “Darkroom Manipulation.” What could possibly be behind this nasty mix of sex, torture, bad makeup and a desire to take Fear Factory’s sound into the realms of extreme metal? It’s either depression or bondage or both. For those who dig evil and serious modern primitives, I guess this is right up your alley.
