Just got this disc back in stock from the now defunct NCC label, and at a cheaper price!

Up until now I've been more familiar with Michael Page, the figure behind the death electronics outfit Fire In The Head, through his other project Sky Burial. Sky Burial released a self-titled CD-R a while back on Housepig that I thought was fucking great, a heavy, rhythmic dose of formless drone heaviness that channeled as much the UK noise/drone rock vibe of bands like SKullflower, Sunroof, and Vibracathedral Orchestra as it did the rhythmic crush of Godflesh and the abyssal drift of classic dark ambient. With his Fire In The Head project, though, it's a totally different headspace; The Remedy Has Become The Affliction, the latest full-length from the project, rocks an album title and that feels like it belongs to some classic anarcho-punk outfit. That's no accident, as it turns out that several of the artwork pieces that were created for this album are from Gee Vaucher of Crass, and the brutal, scathing Industrial violence on this disc seems to be influenced by the accusatory tone and apocalyptic outlook of anarchist punk while transmitting its nihilistic visions through terrifying collages of strangled feedback and roaring distortion, brain-scraping static frequencies bent into sinister codes, cascading sheet metal, flocks of metallic chirping, brutal distorted vocals, death metal vocals, and charred electronic melodies. What sets Fire In The Head apart from most of his PE peers however is the amount of structure and composition that is contained in each track. Fucking fierce power electronic violence, like a composite of Masonna, Whitehouse, Ramleh and Yen Pox; the disc also includes remixes/reconstructions from Guilty Connector and Hum Of The Druid, as well as an interpretation of the song "Wash" by D.C. post-hardcore legends Swiz !? Released in a full-color digipack in a limited edition of 300 copies.
