This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
If Trent Reznor drove Prince’s Little Red Corvette down David Lynch’s Lost Highway, Hellbent would be the music on the radio.
Then again, maybe it would be a CD; there aren’t many stations that would play electronica as creepy, cool and compelling as these tracks by moonlighting members of Haloblack, 16 Volt and My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult. The rhythms thump along like a beating heart, the bass pulses like pumping blood, and the vocalist menacingly whispers in your ear like a serial killer with a knife at your throat as he tells you, “All is not right / The killer hid the body in the plainest of sight.” Be afraid; be very afraid.
