What do you get when you sonically crossbreed Ozric Tentacles and Children of the Bong? Tailored to the dimensionally disturbed, not for the astrally challenged.
These two guys have an earsplittingly depraved live set that takes the usual confrontation artistry of heavy industrial music a few baby steps forward.
It’s not often you see a female-fronted electro-industrial band as vicious as this one. It’s Beat Mistress from Thrill Kill Kult, and she’s one cool bitch.
Collide creates a sound that is at once mysterious and obvious. KaRIN’s voice soars above us, we feel the rocky earth in Statik’s cyber-industrial foundations.
Occasionally, keyboards, dulcimers, and guitars fade in and out, but the voice, and its echoing layers, make this a perfect CD for a quiet night by candlelight.
