Sixteenth full-length album by the legendary UK Dark Wave/Industrial/Electronic band.
Attrition has created one if the most incredible goth-electro records. The theme seems to be an exploration of God, and spirituality, with a very big (and blatant) nod to Dante's “Inferno”. Perhaps the idea is to explore the meeting of the spirit and the body. Album could refer to the banalizing of hell, the everyday descent into sin,the hell that is the everyday. And this theme is perfectly accented by the music. Using a mix of groovy electronics, violins, whispered male vocals, as well as operatic female utterings, and well placed samples, Attrition has made a mix of gloomy and captivating songs. A smooth blend of theosophy catchy bass-lines, groovy drums, angelic melodies and haunting atmospheres; in other words worth hearing!
Recorded & mixed at The Cage, Coventry, England, 2001-2003.
