BIOGRAPHY
Christ Analogue was devised in 1995 by programmer/vocalist Wade Alin. The 1996 release of their debut album, "The Texture of Despise," earned the band instant respect and established them as a force in the electronic/industrial music scene.
With some of the most aggressive and exciting performances ever seen from an electronic-based project, Christ Analogue developed a strong following in the Seattle, WA, and Vancouver, BC, areas, and they began to contemplate the same exposure on a national level. The punk ethic of their live performances bled over to this effort, with the band booking and headlining their own tours of the United States. Christ Analogue did five national tours within two years, including shows with Sheep on Drugs, 16 Volt, Electric Hellfire Club, Stabbing Westward, and two appearances at the CMJ Musicfest.
After signing to MCA/Cargo/Reconstriction, Christ Analogue released what would prove to be their most defining, but apparently final, album: "In Radiant Decay." Critically acclaimed by both the commercial and underground press, IRD made an impact both in clubs and on college radio throughout the U.S. Despite these successes, Wade Alin's relocation to New York coupled with the collapse of Reconstriction Records caused the band's dissolution.
Five years after their departure, Christ Analogue has reemerged with the stunning new album "Everyday Is Distortion."
EID's sound ranges from hard-driving electro-industrial to downright cerebral. A flawless union of intricate drum and synth programming, strong ambient structure, and vocals ranging from intimate to enraged bear the listener through this sixteen-song epic. EID is quickly reestablishing Christ Analogue as one of the premiere acts in the electro-industrial scene.

Rating: 9/10
Initial listens to “Everyday is Distortion,” will reveal a sense of familiarity in Christ Analogue’s infectious mix of cold electronics with a more organic, industrial rock approach. Searing synths, pounding rhythms, and razor-sharp guitars are met by frontman Wade Alin’s emotionally charged vocals. Tracks like “A Slight Rage” with it’s spit-fire hip-hop leanings and the albums opener, “So Brand New,” are vintage Christ Analogue. But it is when the music is given room to breathe that Christ Analogue sounds invigorated. Throughout the disc, traces of electronica, techno, punk, and pop weave in and out of electronic soundscapes. From the drum and bass tinkerings of “Bitchwarmer” to the 4 on the floor old school EBM of “Fair Game,” Alin and his cohort, Markus Vonprause, deliver an arsenal of intriguing industrial music that, while having roots in the past, doesn’t aim to recapture it. Other standouts on “Everyday Is Distortion” include the intricate textures of “Hemisphere,” the melancholy synthpop of “Sustain,” and the alt rock musings of “Everyone Is Looking.” In spite of the different styles that find their way onto “Everyday is Distortion,” there’s a consistent flow among the tracks, giving Christ Analogue a distinct sound all their own. – Brian Lumauig
