Cost: $1.99
Realistically assumed this was going to be industrial of some kind, although I was hoping for some kind of metal content, as several black metal bands (but also several nu bands) are mentioned in the thanks list. They're a sample-laden electronic band, with some tracks being very percussive and industrial-influenced, and others being on the more ambient side. Aside from the BM-sounding main vocals, the closest to metal this disc ever gets is the last track, "Unsane Robotikk Peoplefukk," where the overactive drum machine gives the music a strong grindcore or bestial black metal feel.
I normally don't care about this sphere of music, and I didn't like this as much as some of the limited electronic, ambient, and martial music side-projects of metal musicians that I've heard. But it's not unlistenable, and I will give them credit--it's not as terrible as the overly tryhard misanthropy themes, the overuse of "ov" and letter k substitution (seriously, never do this unless you're Sadistik Exekution), and band photos (they painted their faces in brown and green camo-like splotches, which reminded me greatly of Law of the Plague who I blogged about years ago) might suggest. So yeah, not a bargain bin success. Better luck next time.
