Big Black- Atomizer

Artist: Big Black
Album: Atomizer
Year: 1986
Genre(s): Noise Rock, Punk, Industrial Rock

So this is the first post on Amputee Arms and I figured that I'd start off on a strong note with Big Black's 1986 album "Atomizer". If you haven't heard Big Black before, I would highly recommend that you give them a try. They play a special brand of noisy, punk-infused, drum machine driven music that no simple genre description could ever do justice. Steve Albini's lyrics, vocals, and over the top guitar tone come together in a way that is at once beautiful and terrifying. If nothing else, at least listen to "Kerosene" all the way through. If your tastes are anything like mine, after this point you will be addicted to Big Black in general.
