CD review by Wa

Industrial music. Say those two words and in the minds of most fans a
handful of truly memorable acts emerge. Einsturzende Neubaten, Throbbing
Gristle, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM and Skinny Puppy. All of the
aforementioned bands have careers spanning well over a decade, and in
the case of many, over two decades. Industrial fans have waited
patiently for a new act that deserves membership in this elite inner
circle. Welcome the most likely candidate, MINDLESS FAITH.

Industrial and creative EBM, MINDLESS FAITH has been writing and
performing music since 1995. A product of brothers Jasin and Chris
Sevanick, MINDLESS FAITH has paid their dues both live and in the
studio. Manifest marks their second full-length release. No strangers to
the industrial community, they have appeared on some of the most prominent
industrial/electronic labels in the world, including CLEOPATRA,
BLOODLINE, METROPOLIS and CARPE MORTEM.

Manifest Destiny covers all the required sonic bases for the
discriminating industrial fan. Intelligent, thought provoking lyrics.
The screams, growls, self-loathing, dire warning and nihilism are all
present. Even the faux British accent is present.

The album also contains a video of “All These Years”, continuing a
tradition begun recently on earlier releases. The video delivers an
excellent live performance that feels like a Nine Inch Nails video
performance circa the Pretty Hate Machine era.

Tightly and well-crafted production allows us to travel easily within
the sonic realm they’ve created unobstructed by any major flaws. It is a
pleasure anticipating what lies ahead with each track. MINDLESS FAITH
deserves a place among your CD collection.
