Label: Peaceville
Reissued 2021, Originally released 1991
Marking 30 years of this genre-defining classic debut from the UK pioneers; released in 1991, ‘Industrial’ still stands as a stunning concoction of walls of unrelenting heaviness & primal aggression. With a punishingly stark and brutal sound, punctuated with profound lyrical statements, Pitchshifter had found a highly effective cocktail of dissonance to build upon when they entered Lion Studios in Leeds, in September 1990, with the album coming together in a mere 72 hours. Upon the release of ‘Industrial’, the band swiftly found itself on support slots with acts such as Napalm Death & Paradise Lost and had also notably caught the attention of highly revered Radio DJ John Peel, who invited Pitchshifter to perform for his prestigious Peel Sessions.
