Just plain evil

"Let me be the first to review this album, since no one else has had the good taste in music so far to do so. Although this music is not for everyone, being harsh, vulgar ,intense and well...just plain evil. It's a perfect introduction to this group if not this genre of music. The so-called "industrial" label has countless artists with their own styles of music, and the Psychopomps have clearly formed their own. It is clearly gone to the levels that prohibit this band from going "mainstream" in America, which is what makes this group so good. If your only experience with this type of music is bands such as Nine Inch Nails, give this one a try. You'll be quite amazed as the "pomps" make NIN look like Cher. This is the type of music that's fun to play at full volume in a church parking lot on Sunday morning and count how many people turn and look at you like your setting off bottle rockets in a public library."
