Hold Me Down

by HOLD ME DOWN

supported by

heraldofennui Absolutely soul crushing. I really appreciate the wall of noise this produces. It empties the mind

Argon Absolutely blasting classic industrial metal. The guitars are big and distorted and the beats are even bigger and more distorted. Favorite track: Strapped.

SinderSalmon Industrial so hard is almost reaches power noise. Like Petbrick but way more fierce and dirty.

SRUIN095
Worshipping directly at the dystopian altar of bands like Skinny Puppy, early Ministry, and Godlfesh, Virginia's Hold Me Down debut with an EP of mezmerising industrial metal chaos and post-modern sonic deconstructionism set to annihilate the mind and torment the flesh with no solution of continuity. Within these seven cold and baneful cuts of mechanical aural pandemonium the listener will be drawn into a lifeless and colorless world of ruin and destruction where machines and deviant technology have replaced flesh and sanity and reduced man to a pale and fading memory, annihilated by its own delusions and exterminated by its own creations and mind. Subtle touches of harsh noise, power electronics, and black metal amalgamated in the mix round out a debut of absolutely mind-defiling cruelty.
