This release, packaged in a small yellow collaged media art sleeve and pressed on gray marble vinyl that appears like metallic, gives us another look into some very harsh material from these Cleveland, Ohio noise artists. Here we are presented with some of the more volatile and denser material from these musicians. On side A we are given two tracks entitled "Subhuman Waste" & "War is Human Nature" which both utilize immense layered waves of disruptive static and grinding drones with decayed spoken word subliminals by Karen Thomas. Both seem very much in the same nature of programming aspects, but the word play changes on the second track giving us slightly different insight. On side B, "Industrial evolution" combustible scourges of compressed drones, small nail-gun bombastics, drills, compressors, sanders, lathes, saws, etcher sounds are thickly combined and recycled while the ferocious screams and yells peak in the background from Steve Makita. Holy Terror just might be the name for this label.
