Denoument - INGSOC: T+10 and counting
Side 1
- 1994
- Massacre
- MTBF
- Two Minutes Hate
1994 throws rattling static bass lines, coupled with anti-racism samples,
with underlying lyrics at you all at once. Sort of a thrash electronic
dance melody meets older Skinny Puppy, and the message is racial equality.
Massacre begins with a low thudding bass track, mixed with growling
distorted lyrics, and a Nitzer Ebb style beat. The way the vocals echo off
whatever distortion device that is being used adding to the music, by
creating a tortured artist mindset. MTBF has the rhythmic quality of Land
of Rape and Honey era Ministry, although a little slower. The vocals
snarl, and the samples echo clearly through the almost guitar style
percussion structure. Two Minutes Hate is a instrumental piece with airy
alternating echoed distortions, metallic percussion, and something sounded
like a shock treatment device.
This EP shows growth from the bands previous work. Whereas in the past
many of the older tracks had a repetitive sound, and music samples stolen
from just about everywhere you can imagine, the band has begun to take
upon a style unique to itself, while still utilizing the influences
from others.
