Album Notes & Community Reviews

J.G. Thirlwell operates at the peak of his manic, wildly unhinged creativity on this dense, heavily orchestrated industrial rock masterpiece. 'Nail' utilizes terrifyingly complex tape loops, big-band brass sections, and sheer sonic aggression to build a deeply misanthropic, cinematic atmosphere. It is a highly satirical, chaotically humorous, and violently energetic explosion of avant-garde noise.
