Trust Obey - 'Hands Of Ash' (Fifth Colvmn)

"The band's name almost sounds like a command from an S&M stag film,eh?This CD was originally slated to be released on Trent Reznor's Nothing label.That apparently never happened.I really like this seven track disc - it's got a certain 'heavy industrial' vibe to it.I think the tunes "Hands Of Fire" and "Hands Of Glory" make the CD well worth your time.Some might say that Trust Obey is like a cross between Nine Inch Nails and Godflesh.Sounds like a winner to me."

"nothing records wasn't "scared" of this album. it left trent reznor's hands bearing a Post-It note saying "no commercial potential." yes, of course a few people might like it, but this album had no future of securing any serious following or profits for that matter. concept albums hardly ever see a profit. despite these facts, it's just not a good album. the content is cliche."

Driving home the destruction

"This album is amazing. Bergin's lyrics are heavy-hitting and straight to the heart of matters. The music is often huge in the fact that it throbs, quakes, screams and drives home the barron wasteland of Bergin's vision. If you are not a big fan of industrial music, this may not be for you. But this is a must have for anyone interested in the cinematic isolationist movement."
