Nothing EP |Re-constriction Records, 1992| 
1. Tu-Chow Phang, 2. Kingpin, 3. Nothing, 4. The Other Side
If you like tunes of the early 90's called industrial rock style of music, you'll be in love with this EP. California based Diatribe was able to attract the listeners' attention also with a presence of Skinny Puppy's Nivek Ogre along with Lee Poppa who produced, mixed and engineered two songs from the album - the title Nothing and the best song I've heard since a long long time - Kingpin. The interesting accent is that
Marc Jameson was programming for such pop stars like Christina Aguilera, Madonna, Kelly Osbourne or even Bon Jovi years later.

Ultracide Junkyard |Re-constriction Records, 1996|
1. Ultracide, 2. Junkyard (Radio Edit), 3. Junkyard (Club Mix By Collide), 4. Junkyard (Two-Color Mix), 5. Advanced Therapy
Most of industrial rock and cold wave fans recall Diatribe with an enthusiasm as a band which left great music after a very short time of its existence. This single contains two remixes for Junkyard, while one of them is a very cool thing, looped and dynamic remixed by
Collide. Advanced Therapy reminds me a bit of MLWTTKK, and Ultracide is a typical for Diatribe song with a variety of samples and stable atmosphere.

Diatribe |Re-constriction Records, 1996| 
1. Another Time, 2. Four Fifty One, 3. Freaks, 4. Junkyard, 5. Land's End, 6. Sick the Dogs, 7. Sister, 8. The Other Side, 9. The Son, 10. Web
Marc Jameson, Kevin Marburg, Pat Toves, Vince Montalbano, Phil Biagini founded Diatribe in early 90's in San Jose, California, USA. This self-titled album is the only one full CD released in 1996 by Diatribe. Along with such bands like
16volt or
Skrew they belonged to the 'industrial metal' style of music. A set of ten songs is a perfect example to prove the purest form of the genre based on mixing heavy guitar riffs with sampled electronic add-ons and powerful dynamics. Another Time, Four Fifty One or Web are my favorite tracks, and Sick The Dogs reminds me that groovy vibe known from
Gravity Kills music. Worth of learning, worth of having.
