“It was amazing how you felt the vibrations of the room and played with it”
“Pitch black Industrial [...]. Literally some of the best stuff I've heard coming out of this genre lately and I sincerely hope that we will hear more from this project in the future.”
“astonishing legendary”
“... the crushing hostility of a machine and the (literal) breath of a human being. The soundscapes feel massive and even intimidating, but it always returns to the human element. ... The experience is absolutely worth it!”
“What a night, what a crowd and what stunning music!”
“I am intrigued with this wonderfull cooperation of musicians with a broad mind bringing different genres and styles from different settings together. If you enjoy doom and gloom give this one a try!”
“I need more of this in my life”
“godflesh be like AGHHH!!!!”
“Damn, where do you guys get your acid?”
“three women, doing a sonorous devastation of pure industrial experimental, too addictive. it is perfect”
“Look, I listen to a lot of heavy music. But this is HEAVY on a tectonic scale! And the organic sound of the woodwinds makes the sheer brutality hit even harder somehow. This is brilliant!”
“Suffocating Industrial Metal that will pummel you into a trance you don't want to wake up from...”
“Absolutely mind-blowing set”
“... you seemed dangerous!”
“an arresting, brutalist noisescape”
“This is really incredible, the variety of sounds and industrial atmospheres that you create is brutal. Enigmatic music.”
“It seems as if we are entering another world. Thousands of sensations and thoughts intersect when listening to this music.”
