INDUSTRY
A Self Portrait At The Stage Of Totalitarian Domination Of All Aspects Of Human Life
[engl] A Self Portrait At The Stage Of Totalitarian Domination Of All Aspects Of Human Life is the debut album from international band Industry who are currently based in Berlin. Industry are a band that live and breath the UK anarcho punk era and especially the Mortarhate catalogue of Exit Stance (who they cover on the album), Vex and Icons of Filth. The sound is impassioned, desperate and honest. The vocals are spat with frustration, the rhythm section locked in with the bass taking centre stage and the guitar work has that slight flanged but powerhouse tone. It’s immense.
Industry are made up of Nico from Lux, Jake from Stinkhole, Sebas from UZI / Desintegracion Violenta and Will from Mörpheme but Industry sounds nothing like any of these band. Along with Subdued, Industry hark back to a time long gone of classic Anarcho punk, but somehow make it feel current and essential. ( Sean Forbes / Rough Trade )
