Metal Rhythm

A sharp pivot toward industrial funk and metallic percussion. Aggressive, rhythmic, and drenched in the cold neon glow of late-eighties digital production.

It's the record where Numan got his groove back by making his synths sound like heavy machinery.

A high-octane blend of industrial aggression and robotic funk that feels both cold and intensely driven.
