Steel Hook Prostheses - Anesthetic Cruelty

Review by Nazareth Marroquín

Steel Hook Prostheses, the American industrial noise project, has released their latest album "Anesthetic Cruelty". The album is a powerful and relentless exploration of the darker and more brutal aspects of industrial music.

The album consists of ten tracks, each one a visceral assault on the senses. The opening track, "Flesh of the Mind", sets the tone for the rest of the album with its grinding, distorted rhythms and piercing frequencies. From there, the album only gets more intense, with tracks like "Pain Amplifier" and "Mental Slaughter" pushing the boundaries of what can be considered music.

What sets "Anesthetic Cruelty" apart from other industrial noise albums is its attention to detail. The layers of sound are meticulously crafted, with each track building on the last to create a cohesive whole. The use of samples and field recordings adds an extra layer of depth to the album, giving it a sense of place and context.

Summary by Nazareth Marroquín

"Anesthetic Cruelty" is a challenging but rewarding listen. It's not for the faint of heart, but for those who are willing to dive in, it's an unforgettable experience. Steel Hook Prostheses have once again proven themselves to be masters of their craft, pushing the boundaries of industrial music and creating something truly unique and powerful.
