This is probably one of the rarer New Society albums. I haven’t really seen it for sale or download anywhere. Most of the New Society albums are getting updated versions added to various download sites, so I assume this album will also get the update treatment soon. This was a cassette dub of the original tape, so I don’t have a scan of the full cover. This tape also has some songs that bleed into the next, so a few places I am not totally sure if I got the song break in the right places. But anyways, this is classic New Society – industrial with metal guitars and various other influences (like some darkwave I notice here and there on this one). Also several rave influenced songs as well. As far as I can tell, this album is situated between 1995’s Evil Age and 2003’s Enter the Strait Gate, and Narrow Way.
