I'm shocked! These guys have completed revamped their sound, yet they come off as if they've been playing this style for years. Very confident and commercially-appealing stuff, here. While previously dancing around the heavy sounds of metal metal metal, these Aussies have ventured into the realm of modern rock without sounding contrived or wimpy. Fans of Circle of Dust, fans of techno, fans of goth, fans of the low vocals of Type O Negative, fans of Joy Division, fans of good hard music really have something to love here. It's very unique, very heavy, and produced extremely well. I'm totally stoked over this release and will probably play it more than any other I've reviewed this issue (signed or indie).

Dead Zine 1999Reviewed by CrusaderI get inside from a nipping cold afternoon of running errands, have a seat in my "office", and decide I need something different to listen to. Enter Kohllapse. Enjoyable. I'm kind of surprised that I like this cd as much as I do, since it's not like any of my normal listening. Kind of ambient industrial metal. At least that's how I'd describe it. Track 1 starts off strongly with a catchy riff.…Similar sounding releases
