Album Notes & Community Reviews

An incredibly harsh, confrontational live document of the industrial pioneers delivering a wall of primitive electronics, abrasive tape loops, and disturbing vocal provocations. The performance perfectly encapsulates their "anti-music" philosophy and their deliberate attempts to deeply unsettle audiences through overwhelming sonic and psychological pressure.
