"Bestial Machinery is the perfect release for any longtime Agoraphobic Nosebleed (ANb) fan, or anyone looking to check them out. The two discs span about 80 minutes over the course of their 136 tracks, and most importantly, the songs cover a couple of years worth of material. While ANb has been pretty crazy from the beginning, they have grown and evolved over time, so you get to see the direction they were heading in leading up to their full-length releases on Relapse (Honky Reduction and Frozen Corpse Stuffed With Dope). Some of this stuff I had heard before from owning splits and comps, but a lot of it was new to me, and the cover of Voivod's "Forgotten in Space" ripped my face right off. Worth every single penny. For first-time listeners, I would recommend picking this up first, since you can get a good idea of what the band's all about before diving into their full-lengths. Some of their later material (especially Altered States of America) is a little tougher to get into right away than this collection."

SO F***ING WORTH IT!

"Kinda strange, but this CD really grows on you like a cancerous lesion. There are flat out rocking parts and then there are "I'm going to scream something and end the song". Anyway, its cool stuff none-the-less and I am having a hard time taking either one outta my CD changer. CD is freaking unrelenting, pulverizing stuff. I like it! Favorite ANb at the moment.



If you love Pig Destroyer then you will probably like it. Otherwise..buyer beware as this is very tough to get used too."
