After several years in the making, The Pain Machinery proudly present their fourth album Urban Survival. 14 tracks custom built to sweep the scum off the streets. This time, Anders Karlsson and long time partner in crime Jonas Hedberg have enlisted guest vocalist Jared Louche, the driving force behind the legendary Chemlab, to maximise the impact of their sonic assault.
Urban Survival is an amalgamation of the band´s early hardcore rhythmic industrial noise and a new-found sense of cathchiness. Taking cues from their old-school influences like Cabaret Voltaire, SPK and Hunting Lodge without ever sounding like a retro act, TPM unleash a barrage of jackhammer beats, heavy-duty electronics and menacing vocals to hypnotising effect.
