lyrics
1000 pardons if I seem a little self absorbed
it takes all my time to hear to voice of god
no respect for genius
wretched simple philistines
while you wait for something
I read between the lines
I had a dream of bodies
piled 20 high
on empty freeways
we all got victims eyes
I have a real man's solution
give the people what they want
an iron fist to run from
while the world burns down
So, on my slower days
I made my plan to rule the world
I built my city underground
there will be a next time
☠️

Driving beats with intermittent sonic spikes that makes my brain pulsate and the body move. Numb is a must in any respectable industrial library. Headspike

So happy I bought the vinyl, fantastic collection of Cevin's early music. Recommended if you're into Skinny Puppy or if you're a fan of early EBM, industrial or noisey beats! :) jeff
The NYC-based ”East Asian cyber-metal” group explore musical combinations with a full-throated earnestness that bears fruit in bursts of creativity. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 2, 2023
Harsh R's latest moves away from heavy, noisy industrial post-punk and into darkly melodic synth-pop with textural production. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 14, 2023
The Italian label Raw Culture is a force to be reckoned with & this album is proof of its powers, packed with subterranean industrial heat. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 29, 2023

Very FLA-centric though Cevin’s contributions do shine brightly as well. A worthy successor to the much more minimal Tenebrae Vision, and one of the best albums in the genre so far this year. Jean-Paul DuQuette
