About This Blog

This blog is dedicated to exposing new and interesting music to people who otherwise might never ventured outside of the realm of popular music, or their preferred genre. The music I will try to review a mix of all different types of music, with a focus on genres I like (metal and experimental music).

It tells the story of a heroin addict named Nikki in a future dystopian society. The story is told by Nikki after the fact, as he is remembering it while laying in a bed at a mental institution. He is recruited by a revolutionary group run by a mysterious man named Dr. X, and brainwashed into becoming a hitman for the cause. What becomes of him? You'll have to keep reading (or listen to the album) to find out! The cover of this album is very unusual, and it looks suspiciously like the cover of Napalm Death's cornerstone ...
