Roughhausen - The Agony Of The Beat

Title: The Agony Of The Beat
Artist: Roughhausen
Release: July 2008
Label: Tinder Box Records

Can you imagine that an artist is doing “art” and ass-shaking music at once? Impossible? No Roughhausen is the one! With his new album called “The Agony Of The Beat “ he proves that there is a connection between love, hate, rhythm, noise, screaming, singing and poetry.
“The Agony Of The Beat” is a dark album performed by a unique artist. Roughhausen played guitar on Front Line Assembly’s seminal album and spent two years at Skinny Puppy’s Subconscious studios. An album filled with anger and noise but perfectly arranged with the right portion of beauty. The dominant guitar is carried by electronic sounds and beats flavoured with the powerful voice of Roughausen. This project owns a rousing energy and an intelligent producing. This isn’t another headless industrial production - this is electronica-metal-core. Absolute breathtaking music mixed with an energy that can’t be described in words.
It’s been years that I’ve herd such a fantastic and powerful industrial album and fascinating.
