Angry industrial assault alert and why not? PT was in 90s industrial noise
outfit Sonic Violence and has returned with what he calls, ‘a journey
through the wasteland of modern life’, referencing titans like Neubauten,
Scorn, Test Dept and others mad enough at society to take it out on synths
and inanimate objects. Tracks like ‘Fistrip’ and ‘Wound’ recall another
group mad at the world called Suicide with harsh clattering beats and
incessant factory grind atop the persistent subterranean demon flatulence.
Sometimes it’s like he’s got licence to rearrange Tony Blair’s smug,
murderous visage electronically, although tracks like ‘Pileus’ swim into an
atmospheric toxic swamp before the drum machine whips out another stiffie.
The closing ‘Trashed’ recalls nothing so much as French psycho-jazzers Magma
jamming with Suicide and emerging with a slice of dark modern classical.
Music for these times.
