I just wished I could be like so many, and ignore the political goings-on, and live in a form of blissful ignorance...but here I now am, talking about it again!
Again, it was a vital form of catharsis at a very low point, and a necessary exorcism of some internal issues.

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. The Open Eyed Dreamer
