JPWard Proper Independent Music here ...

If you have ever loved & listened to Nine Inch Nails, Skinny Puppy, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb & maybe even Depeche Mode $10 spent on "Ultranoia" by Damage Control would be very well spent!!!

There's even a collaboration with Ohm on here ....

ashrai THIS is one prime piece of "modern oldschool industrial". I expected a good album but the final release exceeded my expectations by far. Way to go, guys! CD just arrived. I'm impressed! Favorite track: Hate Crime.

Burn down, burn down, burn down, burn down... Long days, dragging on longer, if I’m not to learn from this, then I might as well be dead. Count fifteen things, that I am grateful for, then burn the list and move onto the next. Smouldering hopes, but I’m climbing higher, time to realise that I’m the biggest denier. Cindered souls in danger, ashen white faces, scraping the embers of a life I once embraced. Sifting through joys, burnt photos of your boy, kamikaze outlook, flickered glimpse of life enjoyed. Time to move along, and bulldoze all those songs, smear-the-chalk-off-the- blackboard, and erase all that’s wrong. Fuelling the anger, consuming the passion, extinguish the faces, scarred memories ashen. Burn down, down, down, again... 
Blue heat, of incinerated melodies
 Black ash, of carbonised luxuries
 After, after the fire, after, after the fire. It’s not my face melting in the blaze, living in boxes, feel a burning craze. If all you feel is stifled, and destinations blurred, no future on horizons, tomorrow’s deferred. Then why not burn a bible, and fight for survival, religion will kill you while
 you fight in your sleep. Charcoal dreams, vapourised memories, incinerated baggage, it’s all good cleansing. Fuelling the anger, consuming the passion, extinguish the faces, scarred memories ashen. Burn down, down, down, again...
 Blue heat, of incinerated melodies
 Black ash, of carbonised luxuries
 After, after the fire, after, after the fire.

Hate Crime 05:05
Is there a tendril of hope, onto which we can grope? You’re a victim of a system given a ration of rope. Now watch your back, as your neighbour is spying, and your best mate is watching, so you’ll want to give up trying. A billion nameless souls, with a crime to each face, but a billion lost ideals, that are smothered in space. If all you get from hope, is a vision of blue, then you’ll want to die right here, and pretend it was true. Your thoughts are everyone’s to share, everyone’s to screen, everyone’s to deny. Pre-determined and pre-destined to fail, your mind is the state’s, and the state is unkind. Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate-crime hate-crime... It seems every time you try to open the door, there’s a thousand perished souls who had tried it before. A stab in the back, from a voice in the pack, even your mother, whispers lies to another. Subjugated to a level conformed, inhale the state ideal, and exhale all that’s real. Crushed to frustration, you’ve resorted to crime, now your destiny’s ours, until the end of your time.

Reasons 05:36
Slabs of concrete misery, stand tall in monotony, early morning salt and mist, you cannot bear the sight of this. Take this noise away from me, can’t you see it’s agony, she cannot cope, mind immolation, she won’t make self-mockery. Reasons to disturb, reasons, reasons... Iron lady, iron fist, crush the pride of all industry, outsource labour, outsource minds, healthy morale is a crime. Smoke stacks spewing hateful lies, thoughts of love and suicide, demise of social empathy, loss of faith in future dreams. Reasons to disturb, reasons, reasons... (I lost my mind) Freedom took you for a ride, come and see true hell inside, you’re real and I’m just a drone, did I see you cry alone? Perched up on the precipice, once your life was sugar-nice, everything now gone awry, time to close your eyes and die. Reasons to disturb, reasons, reasons... (I lost my mind) (loss of faith in future dreams) The demise of social empathy, we’re flying blind. Reasons to disturb... Now wipe that acid from your eyes, time to take this pill so fine, enjoy the silence while you can, the fire will come... Oblivion. Life is futile anyway, thought you’d throw it all away, your desperate cries for help are lost, amongst the forms of bureaucracy. Reasons to disturb, reasons, reasons... (I lost my mind) (All hope is blind)

Burn. Will we ever learn Burn. Its not my concern Burn. Everything comes down Burn. Into the fucking ground We come alive We watch the city thrive Politics of industry Will hinder recovery

The sun frowns down on yet another day. Another Tsunami is heading your way. There’s a hole in the sky hidden by corporate lies. Keep the cameras rolling while your apathy cries. Black ocean walls, fish over-trawled. Government amnesia and their promises discarded, policies hidden under blood-red carpet. This desire to, destroy all life on earth, is pure arrogance can’t you see. Our demise, is in the skies, it’s written for all to see. The hard rain falls. Count it down, raze all to ground. The last day calls. The fear of life is what you’ve found. Pipe all living matter, to a lunar refinery. Terraform the biosphere, until maggots are your masters. Exchange the guns for brooms, expose the secret junket rooms. Swap Kardashian news, for oil spill clean-up crews. The hard rain falls. Count it down, raze all to ground. The last day calls. The fear of life is what you’ve found.

Ruined 03:09

Fingers in dust, let yourself go. In the hell of a chill, memories glow. Howling for some respite. What the hell is their purpose, I’m dying inside? Bits and pieces of me falling from the sky. A little annoyed coz I don’t know why. A spectre in the mirror, and I’m trying to hide. Who are these souls, why have they come to haunt me? Looking for a quiet life again. Don’t wanna face the ugly noise this time. Looking for a quiet piece of mind again, these banging noises are driving me wild. Bits and pieces of me falling from the sky. A little annoyed coz I don’t know why. It’s a stairway to nowhere. Knock, knock knocking up in the attic... Looking for a quiet life again. Don’t wanna face the ugly noise this time. Looking for a quiet piece of mind again, these banging noises are driving me wild.

Trauma 04:56
I find myself. Outside of myself. Trying to look back. Capture a moment. When it hits you. I keep going back. To find the moment. Where I lost, when I lost... Then it, it hits you. Feel the force of the blow. Then it, it hits. You can feel the force of the blow. Then it takes you. Feel the force of the blow. Then it, it hits. Then it, it hits you. Trauma. I keep going back, I keep going back. Then it hits you. Somewhere in between. Can you help me? I can’t find that moment in time. Then it hits you. Feel the force of the blow. Then it, it hits. I can feel the force of the blow. And it hits you. Feel the force of the blow. Then it hits you. Trauma. Then it, it hits you.
