'RAT WARS' is the most violent yet vulnerable LP of the los angelean insdustrial rockers' career.

It is somehow fitting that such a brutal collection of songs is at the same time their most comprehensive artistic statement. Meticulously aggressive production detail collides with painfully personal confessions and a strange savage grace is paired with icy gallows humour… surprisingly it’s still fun as hell. 'RAT WARS' joins the lineage of ground-breaking heavy acts like Nine Inch Nails and Ministry, which re-drew the borders between metal, electronic and pop music. It also speaks directly to the band’s young, fervent online subculture. It’s 'The Downward Spiral' for people with at least two monitors and a vitamin D deficiency.
