The seeds of industrial metal find fertile soil here.... or is it this album that is the seed? My metaphor is eating itself.
This is a really interesting album with elements of tribal drumming, funk bass, touches of what almost sounds like early electronica (heavily treated vocals, synthesizers), there's a bit of post-punk, there's atmospheric slow building repetitive tracks, there's more straight-ahead metal.
I was familiar with this band initially through a couple of side-routes
1) Metallica covering their track 'the Wait' on the "Garage Inc." album
2) vocalist Jaz Coleman producing the debut full-length from NZ band Shihad (and later their most recent album) which definitely bears hints of this album.
