Beauty

Layered, complex industrial metal. The perfect balance between inhuman electronics and subhuman metallic rage. Beauty is noisy and quiet. It's chaotic but well-organized. It seamlessly bridges "electronics" and "metal." "Beauty is what I do. It's noisy, it's quiet, it's chaotic yet well-organized. Some background on Automatic Killfest: I finished Killfest in mid-1997 and put out a second demo, Buried With The Sky, to shop the album to labels. Nobody was interested. I was frustrated and burnt, so I put Killfest on the shelf and took a long break from Beauty.
