Mike Bullock joined us on this one as the singer.
The divider was stolen from the Tower Records in Paramus in '92 by my then girlfriend. She was good at stealing stuff.
The original cover idea was developed by Ned. I don't remember exactly what it was, but I think it had something to do with aliens celebrating our demise. We even had an artist render it. I think his name was Robert Smith. Yes, like the singer for the cure. And, no he didn't know of the Cure. That should have tipped us off. Ned and Tristan still owe him a house-painting. I guess the record company didn't like it, so they created this cover. The cover was constructed mostly of the left over 'sprues' from plastic car models (frames that hold the unassembled parts), colorfully lit and then set on fire. no shit!?
The magazine quotes are as follows:
- "If you say you're into Techno-Thrash and you don't own this record, then you don't know what you're talking about" - Metal Masters
- "Refreshing, innovated and heavy enough to rip you apart ... not to be missed" - Music Makers
- "Four K's" - Kerrang
I think the record label made up these reviews. I don't remember ever actually seeing them in any magazine. New Renaissance was pretty sketch.
