Product Description

After three successful releases with Re-constriction Records, SuperCoolNothing marks 16volts first official outing with a major label. Of course, to hear the caustic guitars and programmed rhythms sounding like heavy metal filtered through a vat of battery acid, topped off by Eric Powells signature melodic rasp, it becomes clear that 16volt stays true to its virulent brand of industrialized rock. With renowned figures Bill Kennedy and Joseph Bishara helming the production duties, the music on SuperCoolNothing possesses a crisp sound quality that is clean but far from sanitized. Quite the contrary; this album is the heaviest and angriest the band has sounded to date. One need only listen to the explosive power of Everyday, Everything for proof with its bursts of growling guitar and Powells venomous screams, while The Enemy remains a live staple today with its all too appropriate and prescient in its brutal scorn for the record industry. Throughout the album the signatures of 16volts machine rock formula are cranked to full power, SuperCoolNothing is a full on assault of coldwave energy that solidified the band as one of the foremost entities in underground music. This brilliant album is now remastered and available on Metropolis Records and including bonus remixes from Filters Geno Lenardo and Orgys Paige Haley, SuperCoolNothing is once again available to rally and rile the rivethead masses and remind us how true machine rock is meant to sound. Long live 16volt!
