Flaming Fish consistently puts out high quality industrial music. It's not often that they come knocking on HM's door with an album in tow, requesting strong marketing information. When they do, we automatically know that we're dealing with that wonderful music known as guitar dominated industrial (or "industro-metal" for short). Cult Of Jester, with its curious Japanese imagery and tasteful packaging, represent the scene well. Energy, creativity, crisp production... It's all jiggy. If you're curious, pop in the Hard Music Sampler CD from the last issue and check out "Harvester."
