Painful, heavy, damaged rock that combines the emotional burn of "My War" era Black Flag, the masochism of "Funhouse" era Stooges, and the low end of "Cop" era Swans. "An ultimate realization of pain through sound." Alternative Press, 1997.
Bio / Background
For Detroit, From Addiction is the last recordings TOI did. It documents a single weekend, just days after their final performance. Many of their earlier recordings attempted to push the envelope of low-end violence and often incorporated jazz/experimental passages. In 1997, Alternative Press referred to the band as "an ultimate realization of pain through sound." The band blended Black Flag-like aggresssion with sludgy, Helmet-like crunch. On their last recording, for sale here, the band is exhibited taking on new forms of self-destruction and over-the-top expressions, shedding anything "metal' about their earlier form and hinting at their Detroit roots (Stooges, MC5). For Detroit... is a 9 song collection of painful, maniacal, emotional damage and is rivaled in intensity only by some of hardcore's earliest pioneers. Unlike the imagery and mythology the band created for albums like "A Skin Historic," "For Detroit..." is blatantly personal, self-obessed, and masochistic.
