I had not heard of Sektor 304, so I only had the press release to go on. Here's how the label describes this album: 'With a solid foundation of rusty, oil drenched percussion, Sektor 304 adds layer upon layer of squalling industrial clangor, hammering metallic noise, grimy atmospheres, heaving masses of haunted factory drones, and threatening tribal batter, with a strong and commanding vocal presence.' This is one for the few times when I have seen a comparison to Einsturzende Neubauten hold up under scrutiny. After all, you have to love the fact that Sektor 304 lists 'metal junk' and 'power tools' under the more traditional 'vocals' and 'percussion.' And they aren't kidding. From the opening track, you get a sense of what you are in for. The percussion is heavy and the track is punctuated by the rhythmic turning on and off of an electric drill. This is real industrial in the sense that EN was real industrial - noisy, crushing, and loud. The vocals are distorted and harsh. Everything is getting the crap beat out of it. But that's only half the story. This album displays the power of understating things as well. There is a lot of good atmosphere here ' 'Pulse Generator' is a good example of this, with whispered vocals, quiet percussion, and ominous drones. In fact, some of this disc is downright peaceful. Quite a variety, which keeps things interesting. This disc weighs in at around 60 minutes.
