Somewhere Over the Slaughterhouse

A mechanical nightmare of glitchy drum and bass, industrial textures, and virtuosic guitar work. Unsettling, rhythmic, and deeply atmospheric.

June 5, 2001 · Stray Records

A tense and mechanical descent into an industrial nightmare, balanced by moments of strange, childlike wonder.

Moments Worth Listening For

The sudden transition from a haunting, child-like melody into a frantic drum and bass breakbeat on 'Help Me'.

The way the guitar mimics the rhythmic clanking of machinery on 'Conveyor Belt Blues' to close the record.

The unsettling use of vocal samples and high-pitched guitar squeals that create a horror-movie tension in 'You Like Headcheese?'.
