Search - Child Abuse :: Imaginary Enemy

'The math-y riffs and beats could sound clinical (the band cites composers Karlheinz Stockhausen and Charles Ives as influences), but the sweat and grime it takes to execute them is wisely left intact. Let your pupils dilate and your brain liquefy.' - PITCHFORK ''keeping the 'f*** you' spirit of punk rock alive, actualizing their very own genre defying, almost avant-garde psychosis.' - EXCLAIM In their 15 years of existence, CHILD ABUSE have become much more than a jarring name. The NY trio has fused elements of Noise, Death Metal, Free Jazz, Modern Classical and Grind into something entirely their own, all the while becoming one of the most innovative, and polarizing bands in New York.

Cover by Albert Oehlen / 'The foremost painter of the era. - THE NEW YORKER LP includes a 4 x 4 inch Vinyl Magnet insert.
