Torba: “It was a space to do whatever I wanted. It felt good to do something ‘wrong’,
because when recording somebody else, you have to work with the cleanest sound.
When I’m doing my stuff, I try to push it as hard as I can to do everything wrong.
I see it every day – people not making extreme decisions anymore. They record
the stuff clean, and then they try to find the tone during the production, I always
try to do the opposite. I try to look for the sound immediately. If it works, it works.
Otherwise, I take it off.””
TUTV: The world is on its way to self-destruction. No point of return.
Merciless and ruthless. ‘II’ is a most fitting soundtrack for the ultimate
event. Well, that’s what my startled ears tell my shocked mind.
Doom and gloom dominate this nasty sledgehammer of a record.
Big techno bangs, think The Prodigy, and blasting beats, think NIN.
Götterdämmerung chaos everywhere.
The last three tracks (Onda, Sides and Rider) orchestrate
the aftermath of the final decline. Game over. Breathtaking
opus.
