A bit of a hidden gem, this EP seemingly came out of nowhere in early 2004 as a one-off from a trio consisting of Atticus Ross (well before deeper integration with Nine Inch Nails but after 12 Rounds and the tail end of Nothing Records), his brother Leopold, and Brett Gurewitz, all elevated with vocals by Greg Puciato (Dillinger Escape Plan).
An extreme and wonderful whirlwind of punk-infused, electronic noise and digital percussion. It feels very influenced by the end of the Digital Hardcore Recordings era (ex: 2001's Alec Empire - Intelligence & Sacrifice; 1999's Atari Teenage Riot - 60 Second Wipe Out). It's adrenaline-pumping with some violent abuse of digital breaks and distortion, all so excellently complimented and led by Greg's vocals, which even at times get chewed up and spit out in the production.
The artwork is a perfect fit, while it seems of the era of the flat design elements, it still is explosive and refined with it's dark and specific color palette. An excellent use of the rarely-used 'minimax' CD format.
While I regularly wish for more of this (and there is a remix they did plus Black Sabbath cover out there around the time on some compilations), there's something satisfying with this existing solely on it's own as this raw and brutal, digital punk release. It regularly finds it's way into my music rotation every few months even after all these years.
Crucial listening. Highly recommended.
