Started in 2004, Fire In The Head is the personal project of Michael Paige which has already released twelve CDs, counting this new one titled MEDITATE/MUTILATE. Focusing his sound mostly on industrial/power noise, Michael sees his project as a "cathartic outlet to explore and ratify the delusions and social perversions resultant of psychosis and the darker side of man's conflicted dual nature", as he says on his website. The ten tracks of the album fortunately don’t present a tedious wall of sound only but they merge elements of noise, death industrial, drone, dark ambient and power electronics without sticking only on one of these. So, if "True believer" or "Complete the obsession" remember early Whitehouse (see tracks like "My cock's on fire" or the "Peter Kurtin" album), "Kriegskunst" is more de-structured (like digital noises on the wild), "Psychotic underground" sounds like a noise version of Foetus and the closing "Meditate/Mutilate" remember me the dark ambient tracks on Non mixed with feedback noises. For sure this kind of sounds don’t require to be a trained musician but Fire In The Head succeeds into creating a certain tense atmosphere that you’ll dig for sure if you are into this kind of sonority.
