New arrival! 75 minutes, 52 seconds

Diverje
The Distortion Chamber


Catching up with Diverje, the main project of DSBP label head Thomas T. Rapisardi, better known as simply Tommy T. Diverje was always on the periphery of my radar, but I thought their music was more guitar-oriented industrial. Not true, as it turns out. The more recent work, anyway, is EBM tending toward the "hellektro" that all the kids seem to like nowadays. Not bad. Not exactly envelope-pushing, and not dissimilar to what you might have heard from other American industrial bands such as Pygmy Children, THD, and Velvet Acid Christ. But tuneful and more thoughtful than some of the paint-by-numbers bands in Europe.

But what's with the Andrew "Dice" Clay samples?
