Editorial Reviews

Review

The highly anticipate, revolutionary new studio album from underground industrial icons Razed In Black!

Features the singles Share This Poison, Vision (featuring Athan Maroulis of Spahn Ranch) and Blush!

Special bonus disc with 8 remixes and 2 enhanced CDR videos of live performances!

This release is poised to redefine modern industrial/EBM music, incorporating trance and techno influences with amazing results!

Full-on, massive marketing and press onslaughts including posters, postcards and ads in Outburn, Alternative Press, Blue Divide, MK Ultra and many more!

Every once in a while an album comes along that completely redefines its genre, breaks the rules, cross-breeds the styles and opens the door to a whole new world of multi-layered musical soundscapes. Damaged, the brand new studio release from underground industrial icons Razed In Black, is one such album. Since 1996, Razed In Black have released a series of full-length albums and EPs, each one an emotionally charged mixture of throbbing electronic manipulations and heavily distorted guitars. The band promptly found a devoted following among those in the gothic/darkwave scene, who flocked in droves to RIB live performances and snatched up merchandise by the tons, making the band one of the most important underground acts in the scene.

Now, a new era of RIB, and the industrial music genre in general, will begin. Damaged is simply one of the most intelligent hybrids of trance techno programming, darkwave songwriting and brutally aggressive guitar riffs. Think Paul Oakenfold meets NIN meets Ministry. Founder and leading creative force behind RIB, Romell Regulacion, has ample experience in the world of techno, spinning at clubs, releasing albums and contributing to the soundtrack of major films such as Carrie 2: The Rage and Mystery Men under the moniker Transmutator. This new album brings these two strands, techno and industrial, and threads them together with expertise and finesse to create one of the most densely-layered, seductively dark yet wholly invigorating albums to come along in quite some time. --Cleopatra Records

5.0 out of 5 stars The best industrial album of 2003, October 17, 2004

By 

Spectre (Iraq (temporarily)) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Damaged (Audio CD)

Razed in black have always taken a bit of a different approach to industrial music. They used to be a little on the harsh side, with crunchy speed-metal style guitars and lots of screeching bleeping synth noises that kind of layered and formed a backdrop. The beats have always been fabulous and the lyrics, though quite disturbing, are intelligent and poetic. One of the most innovative bands to come into the electro scene in years. Then along comes Damaged. This is a little more on the poppy side of things, but only because the production quality is much better than on previous albums. You can hear the influence of the multitude of different groups in the genre that helped write and produce this album. The beats are infectious, the lyrics are tantilizing. This is a club-rave frenzy in a box. I have never heard anything quite like it and expect I never will again, unless R.I.B out-do themselves whith their NEXT album. A must have for anyone who likes Dance electronica/ industrial/ trance and the like. The remix disc is also pretty good, though I like most of the originals better, the remixes are different enough to make the second cd an entity of its own.

Razed In Black has to be one of my favorite bands I have discovered over the last couple years and I was excited to get this release. I do have one major gripe with Razed In Black however, what the hell is with all the high end on all the RIB CD's? I DJ at three different clubs so a lot of people might not ever notice what I'm talking about, but you put any of their discs into a club's sound system and its a battle of the high end.

With that said this is a great CD, as a DJ I find myself playing the following songs a lot.

Blush
Am I 2 Blame
I'll Damage You
Visions (A23 mix)

The disc also includes some nifty live video and really made me want to see RIB live.

As both a industrial related music fan and a DJ I would recommend adding this CD to your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprised, October 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Damaged (Audio CD)

It seems like many people either love or hate this release, due to the styalistic diversion from past RIB releases. I personally love how the band has mixed all their styles into one release, by that I refer to the style of Transmutator, dj RIB and DJ skOOby. They didn't limit themselves to any particular genre and as a result developed a beutiful hybrid. When I first got the CD when in Boston i didn't stop listening to it for a month, every time I listen to it I find little bits that i didn't remember from before, it's like a new CD everytime. This release is a great deal, it come with two discs, one of original releases, the second filled with remixes and two videos. All this for a price less than most regular CD's.
