You Are Expendable
by Cease2Xist
Whilst Cease2Xist continues to improve with every release, I have several personal ties to this album, and it was truly a great introduction to the furious energy of Cease2Xist

Like Cease2Xist, this release is not necessarily MIxe1's best work, but was my introduction to the beautiful songwriting and haunting words of Mixe1. 'Breathe' is still one of the best songs out there

Defeat offer a snarling interpretation of early EBM, with a modern production, and a passionate delivery. Seek Help was an album I was close to during production, and is rock solid throughout.
