FEATURED LABEL

Deprogrammed Productions is a Pacific Northwest-based production company dedicated to the electro-industrial-crossover music scene, and it's artists. The company was born in Denver, CO back in 1990, to solely serve as a promotional vehicle for the owner’s personal projects. In 1993, they moved to Seattle, WA, and over a period of time, have since opened their doors to Digital Remixing, and Web Design, while maintaining support and promotional services for their artists.

10 tracks over fifty-seven minutes, and quite simply, this is one of THE most sensationally explosive CD’s of industrial metal-based electronic/electric music I’ve heard! It has the same overwhelming effect on me as the very best Ministry or Front Line Assembly albums did when I first encountered them. The sound is just vast, with huge rhythms from electric drums, percussion, samples and keyboards, plus miles of electric guitars that are set at maximum intensity and blood-curdling riffing power. The towering synth work creates mighty backdrops that propel the tracks along, hanging outside or around the surging rhythms. The tracks are loaded with all sorts of samples, adding even greater textural range and some really dark emotions to the incredible music that unfolds. The actual compositions are solid throughout and positively burn at nuclear force, but it is the sheer maturity and careful attention to every last detail of these muscular, titanic tracks that puts this head and shoulders above all of its competitors. Checkout the way they mix the samples and buried phased vocals - Half the time you don’t know which is which! In short, this is one nuclear warhead CD that just smashes to pieces nearly all metal and industrial albums released in the late 90’s, so full of invention, pace, dynamics and attack – It’s a monster that you just dare not ignore. Smokin'!

The story behind this is that the 6 tracks formed the basis of a follow-up album to the mind-blowing ‘Dominion’ debut album, but the tapes got impounded and that was that – effort wasted! Then the band found the sessions that they hadn’t realised they’d kept as a copy and – bingo!!! – They were back in business with the album that should have been the second album from 1998, and was it worth the wait? You bet!!! This album is just awesome stuff - A mix of intensity, good composition, arrangement, structure, power, atmosphere and sheer overwhelming sound, the likes of which you just don’t hear anymore. It’s dark too, the nearest comparison you will get is the all-time classic that is the ‘I See Good Spirits’ album by My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, or certain parts of classic ‘Land Of Rape & Honey’-era Ministry. This is an album that takes no prisoners, doesn’t bargain with you and roasts you over burning embers as it goes. With the core trio on programming, vocals, guitars, textures and cross-fades, this is almost forty minutes of industrial electronic/electric sample-led rock Armageddon that is guaranteed to blow you right out of the sky. The rhythms are huge, the samples are brilliant, the guitars are gut-wrenching and the electronics are all over the mix, and the combined feel and sound will send shivers down your spine.

The long- (and I mean “long”) awaited follow-up to 1995’s incendiary ‘Dominion’ album and I can now proudly proclaim that, not only were we the first and only outlet in the UK to champion the cause of this band when they first arrived on the scene, but we also stuck with them, leading up to an album that proves they are the greatest industrial metal band on the face of the planet right now! The power inherent in this disc is awesome, verging on nuclear force - Dark as Hades, black as night and so mind-numbingly heavy. It’s a bit like being a rabbit trapped in the headlights of an on-coming vehicle, as you sit there in front of your speakers transfixed to the sheer overwhelming musical terror that is being unleashed before you - A landscape that makes Motorhead sound tame in comparison and Devin Townsend like a walk in the park on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Here we are talking a power trio featuring vocals/programmer, electric guitar and drums, but if that makes you think the sound is more like traditional rock, then think again, because this is the real deal, with huge-sounding towers of wall-to-wall industrial rock that has as full a sound as they come, and 11 tracks that lay waste to everything that dares to stand in front of them. The vocals are low, buried and evil, the guitars rage and storm, the electronics and samples fill the sound out for miles around, while the drums thunder hard and thunder loud! Yet, somehow, the whole thing retains a structure – and a song structure at that, with real melodies, real riffs and, despite the crushing sound, a real sense of dynamics. The layers and textures thrust forward, and re-emerging all the time is this unbelievably, nightmarish heavy industrial rock that drives like a juggernaut through your head in an unstoppable fashion – but there’s no way you want it to stop – it’s a musical drug and you’re hooked, mate. The finest industrial rock album in the world... ever! – No argument!
