Ah, 90s underground  industrial. Something about it is so DIY, but so cool. I have been sent about 10 industrial tapes to transfer that are pretty rare – this one on Flaming Fish Music, the rest are independent. Human Knot Farm appeared on several compilations back in the day, so you might have heard of them. None of those compilation tracks are from this demo. This is a one-person project of Shane Broussard (aka Acid Human). Broussard’s sound is described as a mix of dark electro and experimental noise, and that is a pretty good description. As far as I know, HKF only had ten songs and that was it. Fans of Blackhouse when he was doing these same kinds of sounds would probably dig this as well (even though this is not a copycat).
