In 1991 I had a fling with industrial music, that summer I was into anything Wax Trax records put out. I spent a lot of time with nine inch nails, nitzer ebb, kmfdm, skinny puppy, my life with the thrill kill kult and Pigface. I loved the song "the bushmaster" on Pigface's first album. I looked up David Yow's other band The Jesus Lizard (and fell in love with them bit that's another story) their ep "pure" used a drum machine which at the time really appealed to me. Someone much more "in the know" suggested I check out this #bigblack album. It's an ugly listen. It's caustic and razor like guitar tones and dark lyrical content made me start searching the underground music circles for more of this ugly heady sound. Listened to it today after neglecting it for years and it shows some proto black metal tones, I had an "a ha!" moment as those dots connected in my own personal musical history.
