UNIT 187 – Capital Punishment

No compromises – pure UNIT 187.

Five years passed since their last album, but nothing has changed. Except instead “ …that there are no monsters, no real ones. But there are…”(Dead Dog) we hear “ They are coming to get you Barbara! They’re coming for you Barbara!”(Infested) and then the police sirens…
You probably know pretty much everything about Voncouver School Of Industrial, so I’m just going to update the info by saying that “Capital Punisment” is a good album. Produced by such names as Chris Peterson and Anthony Valcic it was bound to be.
Rom DiPrisco remixed (already a) club hit ‘Anger Management pt.1’ – a fine display of burning face of UNIT 187. ‘Euphoria’ and ‘Infested’ show the cold one. 'Angels', 'Second Class Citizens' dwell in between – both brutal takes enriched by Petersons unique cyberesques. ‘Angels’ is a bit too brutal, I might say. But we’re used to that, aren’t we?
As well as to morbid samples on title track. All in the function of debating the issue of death sentence. Booklet text by Mr. Kenneth Cauthen might shed some light on UNIT 187’s stand on this topic. You are very welcome to join the discussion. I would really want to know why do they make the music they do. They hate us all! :) I might ask them for an interview…
Overall, I like the percussions on this album. 100% Vancouver style. Speaking of songs, my favourite must be ‘Euphoria’. Whether you prefer cold instrumentals or aggro style tracks, you will find them both on this album. Not that the icon of JOY all with rainbow and sunshine fits the nature of “Capital Punisment”, but it’s value will do just fine.

Welcome back UNIT 187.
