Well, what can you really say when you’ve grown up with these rivet stomping industrial gods? They’ve influenced most of the industrial and EBM bands out there, as well as a lot of the industrial metal explosion, they move forward with their projects at a speed that is mind-boggling, and their mindset about music works like a whole universe of sounds mixing and intermingling (I’m scared to know how many soundfiles these guys have). This is the new song and single for the upcoming CD "Civilization", this is one of the hardest hitting songs they’ve done since "Millennium", considering the latest CDs have dabbled more into the techno and EBM genres. This is more akin to "Caustic Grip", but more of a modern version, involving raw, stomping industrial (yep, we mean OLD SCHOOL industrial to get you stomping!) And more controlled and skilled use of guitars (versus "Millennium", which used one or two power chords) and a lot more layered sound structure this time around. Promising new song for a promising return back to FLA’s hardcore industrial roots. Rating: 10.
