Infinity machines

"Infinity Machines, throughout, is as human an album as has been made this year. When Tim Gray made his drone composition Polyhedrons, he linked his master's thesis on using music as an intentionally therapeutic asset. Though they utilize the same tools, GNOD's created a brutally raw release that laughs in the face of anything providing solace. While Thomas Hobbes reminded us that life is brutish, nasty, and short, the world in which these lives are played out is large and imposing, inescapable and challenging. An album commanded by machines, few releases could tap into our terrifying mortality like this".

'Researchers worry that this Gnod strain may carry unhealthy subliminal messages. 'Within the first ten minutes of exposure, an individual may lose all monetary, political, or overall selfish ambition,'".
