Album Notes & Community Reviews
Reuniting the original lineup following the untimely passing of bassist Paul Raven, 'Absolute Dissent' is a ferocious return to form for the industrial pioneers. The record addresses themes of global crisis, political corruption, and existential dread with an aggressive, dense metallic edge that recalls their most abrasive 1980s material. The project served to cement their enduring legacy and continuing relevance in a modern socio-political landscape.
