PRESS RELEASE
Ripping open the cloaked obsessions of a sick and trembling middle-class
limbo, the GRUNGE MACHINE howl with primordial abandon, laying bare the
rank and cloistered non-being of mid-America. Feeding on the fears and
compulsions of those they despise (which, in essence, is all), they've
fashioned the complexities of cruelty into a grim proscenium, gore-flected
and malice-stained.
Into this spectacle they descend, a deus ex GRUNGE machina, a corporeal
manifestation of an empty souls' unleashed torment, an intervention of
rapacious, lacerating fury. The dramatis personae, abusing their
instruments of cold anguish, become a collective aural countenance which
imparts no remorse, no fatigue, merely incessant, externalized, paralyzing
malevolence, directed at a stagnant and deceptive ecclesiastical heartland
ethos.
Recalling the most apocalyptic work of Artaud (restructuring his "all
writing is garbage" theorem into a nihilist credo relevant ot the
90's wreckage of musical pseudo-culture), the GRUNGE MACHINE factory of
principles boldly articulates the marriage of pain and melody as an
unadulterous venture.Their music exemplifies this transcending of
foundations and limitations. The songs express not only the visual image
of gyrating limbs or genitalia, but the shattering of inherent
psychological cornerstones, all metaphorical rocks of ambiguous salvation.
It is the building of a Theater of Musical Cruelty· an anomaly worthy of
Artaud, Lautreamont, even de Sade.
Accept no understudies. The GRUNGE MACHINE is here for the final act.
Kevin Anderson - Visionary June 1991 |
