MARKING 30 YEARS SINCE ITS ORIGINAL RELEASE COMES THE NEWLY REMASTERED GENRE-DEFINING DEBUT FROM THE UK GREATS. PRESENTED ON 180gm VINYL.

Pitchshifter formed in Nottingham, UK, in 1989 by guitarist/programmer Johnny Carter & bassist/vocalist Mark Claydon, with Marks brother Jon later joining the fold following initial demo recordings. From their pioneering early days along with the other seminal industrial masters, Godflesh, Pitchshifters ascension throughout the 1990s culminated in the band becoming one of the UKs biggest metal exports around the new millennium, with a spell at Geffen & MCA Records helping Pitchshifters profile grow enormously. Their Deviant (2000) album reached number 39 in the billboard 200, & this also led to the band embarking on major tours, as well as playing at the renowned Ozzfest. From their rawer & primitive metallic origins, Pitchshifter continued to expand their sound, experimenting with ideas such as drum and bass as they evolved.

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.

This edition of Industrial has been freshly remastered. It is presented on 180gm vinyl & includes full lyrics plus band photos.
