It's a debut CD by Californian from db9d9, way more beat based than the album released 4 years later. The sound reminds me a mixture of vibes known from KMFDM and Gravity Kills albums, but the rest is only up to the band. There's a lot of samples, industrial noises and juicy rhythm but also predatory guitar riffs. I loved an instrumental track "Headhunter" from the first listening (it fits perfectly video games or visuals). I paid attention at once to "No Light" (awesome guitars!) but I got melt totally by "Black" track with this refrain going like "Everything Dies!".

This album is a great choice for a club party to make the clubbers shaking more, especially those who need something more edgy than a synthetic poo-poo.
A professional release, artworks printing, good mastering and of course musicians' ideas build a very good image for this album. Everything seems to be kept in a balance and to me it's a candidate for one of the best industrial rock albums ever released. I'm pleased to put the highest grade. ( Katarzyna NINa Górnisiewicz.
