Deviant - Pitchshifter

Pitchshifter were probably the most successful Nottingham-based electro-industrial-punk-rock-metal anarchists of the past decade and their album Deviant released in 2000 was their most successful offering. The band began as very heavy industrialists with clear political and social messages to express and throughout the nineties their music evolved to a more accessible electronic style, culminating in their album ‘www.pitchshifter.com’ from 1998 in which the guttural vocals were gone and the grinding guitars replaced with short riffs and electronic drum beats. ‘Deviant’ refines the sound even further into a modern punk rock style complimented with more ...
