Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a ferocious sonic documentation of the UK miners' strike and widespread social unrest, this industrial touchstone utilizes scrap metal percussion and relentless tape manipulation. The collective's militant, anti-Thatcherite stance is conveyed through deeply anxious sound collages and aggressively mechanical rhythms.
