With its bizarre and combustible mix of relentless rhythmic fury, industrial elements, and alternately robotically monotone and emotively operatic vocals, Carrier Flux's In Waste album is certainly one of the most unusual extreme metal releases of 2002. Calling this music black metal simply doesn't do its adventurous nature justice, yet its gothic atmospherics ("Lustmord"), quirky electronics ("[Transition]"), and outlandish stabs at metallic electronica ("The Enemy Within") are also far too elusive and offbeat to categorize within any other single genre. And with their simplistic, rapid-fire barrage, the riffs heard on "Rebirth" and "Martyrs" are clearly rooted in the black metal arts, making it hard to imagine In Waste being consumed by any other audience. Add to this an intentionally murky, disorienting production job and the resulting musical curiosity is set to confuse as many fans of more traditional extreme metal forms as it thrills those with an ear for the eccentric. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide [-] Collapse
