Description
Pitchshifter – Submit – Cassette
Submit is the second studio album by the English industrial rock band Pitchshifter. It was released in 1992 and is considered one of the band’s seminal works.
Submit showcases Pitchshifter’s unique blend of industrial, metal, and electronic elements, creating a heavy and aggressive sound. The album features a mix of intense guitar riffs, distorted vocals, electronic beats, and sampling, creating a dark and futuristic atmosphere.
Pitchshifter’s shows used live programming and slides, and further spread their music in the States, though their confrontational attitude almost ensured a lack of commercial airplay. Pitchshifter started to outgrow their industrial roots and explore computer technology in an effort to bring their brand of aggressive social and political awareness to a more mainstream audience.
Notable tracks from Submit include the opening track “Gritter,” “Deconstruction,” “Silo,” and “Landfill.” The album explores themes of technology, control, and societal issues, with lyrics that often convey a sense of dystopia and rebellion. The album is filled with exciting aggression and high-speed techno breaks that were unusual in commercial music.
The band toured relentlessly and successfully for the next couple years, playing with the likes of Korn, Tool, Ministry, and even Girls Against Boys, bringing them to the attention of American major label DGC, which signed them in 1997.
Submit was well-received by both fans and critics for its innovative sound and energetic performances. The album helped solidify Pitchshifter’s reputation as one of the leading bands in the industrial rock genre.
