Industrial, noise and related electronica has in my experience been primarily connected to the darker side of imagery ranging from misanthropy to serial killers, this is an interesting departure in that it focuses on issues such as the internet, freedom, social manipulation and government control. It is a work based strongly around a theme and the very nice presentation of the CD packaging emphasizes the content, it is a three section digipack with interesting quotes, images and photos.

The music is industrial power electronica, each piece is carefully structured and ranges from atmospheric industrial right through to strong wild pieces such as Mpack vs. Storm where the full force of industrial music is mustered with wild percussion, strong and loud voices even shrieks and related madness. Each track offers something unique and different and this thematic approach is interesting, this is not an undetermined spontaneous work, it is meticulously planned and executed. Griefer are innovative music makers and use modem sounds, cracks, grinds, bleeps, clangs, thuds and all manner of unusual sounds mixed with electronic to create a three dimensional textured sound which is evocative and powerful.

Brute force is an angry work; the music seethes with fury and disgust, most aimed at government controls and manipulation. Brute Force’ is a superb example of extreme power electronics/ death industrial, exploring subject matter that very few have so far explored and it does so with gusto and style, get ready for an unusual and confronting experience.
