The Canadian industrial rock band The Rabid Whole was founded in 2007. This is their debut album.
At first listen the music sounds more like rock than industrial. But that’s only the first impression. When listen to it longer and closer you realize how much industrial actually is in the music. It is quite a lot. The tunes are catchy and thriving. The sound is deep and sometimes a little gloomy. All in all the 13 songs are surprisingly great. I did not expect that when looking at it for the first time. The music somehow is a little experimental and reminds of all these cyber movies when listening to it. And that’s also what the album layout reminds of. The vocals are not shouted but more normal, almost soft. The electric sounds and samples add a surreal touch to it that makes the music fade into a dreamy and unreal memory. The Rabid Whole really created something interesting and odd here. Have a listen!
