I Never Wanted to Be Around You + Your False Romantic State.......2005-02-22
When Velvet Acid Christ pumps into my bloodstream, I still get a jolt because they were something shocking when they began circulating and I like that. They don't come across as a band that overtly mourns itself without lashing out, and they don't come across with some cuddly little voxed message wrapped in their EBM. They're actually one of the more "in your face" ideologists when it comes to spitting in the eyes of people limping around in this broken playpen we call democracy with their blinders on, and they do it with a "maybe I should kill you" attached to so many of the statements. The works take time to spit in the face of blind youth-culture that flocks to clubs while ignoring the world around them, in the face of governments that bind our hands and lie to us, and it seethes.
And I like seething.
Church of Acid is an album with all the trimming that VAC listeners should enjoy. In fact, I'd say that a few things are different in it than other (later) VAC albums because the vocals aren't always voxed and that lets emotion come out in different fashions, but the formula still stays the same. Humanity, the notion, is a disease and one that could be flushed down its own cosmetically-corrupted toilet, and that the world is diseased and rotting as well. The album starts out with that socially viable message, with the "Hell One" introduction pointing a finger and with "did you ever f---ing care? Liar!" and letting the album drift from there. "Let's kill all these m-therf---ers" is a nice example of political landscaping, touting how we're "killing everything in the name of democracy," and a lovely reaction to governmental exploitation in a nice "get the f--k out of my face, I'll kill you in a second." Mmmm. It also has a catchy beat, and that's delicious. Skippy around, I'm partial to "Hallucinagene" because it is murder personified (graphic rejection of love via a 12 gauge shotgun), "Dead Flesh" because it speaks on the hypocrisy of people and their nearsightedness when it comes to "saving animals" versus "social show-n-tell," and I like the way "fade Away" leaves us with a little "life is no fantasy there, no dream" flavor.
If you aren't familiar with VAC, this isn't "love songs" volume one and it doesn't paint a happy place for your mind to run to. The earlier works are more about pain and lashing out at the world, about falling from the hands of drugs after 14 days and just wanting to kill or sleep, and it's done in rather flavorful fashions. It has an electronic beat that ripples in the mind, sometimes darkwave and sometimes composed to a more melodic hue, but its always stark and cold.
Like an operating table, it rebuilds.
Different.......2003-09-24
This CD is definitley different then VAC's more recent releases... but i like this CD alot. it's not really a album, but more less the best of 2 older cds that were never officially released. my fav track is Hullucinagene. this cd is more of a industrial work then the newer, more dance driven vac.
short coming extraodinare.......2003-02-04
VAC have some truly good music mind you.("Falling Snow" is a great song) However VAC is not consistent and "Church of Acid" seems to flail while falling into the catotonic dribal that makes up to much of what we will call industrial/EBM/and Darkwave. For this matter so have all his other albums. The recording quality is terrible and the ability to procure an oringinal sound by most industrialites have always been a feebling attempt or a gesture that laped up the blood of Skinny Puppy. Now Skinny Puppy were amazing and we all loved them but argue it till you drop dead VAC is just another existential melodrama cartoon that lives in the shadow of a giant no matter what you have cloned them for.(Leatherstrip, Placebo Effect, so on) As good as Front Line assembly and Front 242 have ever been... no one else has been Skinny Puppy.
Best VAC I own.......2002-08-27
Again and again, I keep putting this CD on after years of having it. It's the only VAC record that can hold it's weight. Reason for this being it's the most imaginative and diverse. Plus it's always great to put on a CD and not have to skip any tracks- just run it from 1-12 and that's it. I would recommend this to anyone, not just electronic music fans. You might notice that other VAC works are littered with over-sampling and cheesy lyrics. Anyway, get Church of Acid, the import version (with Futile and Disflux) and you'll be a happy camper.
Highlights are LKATMF's, WHTSWHTK, Futile, Sex Disease, Pain
P.S.- If you can get your hands on Neuralblastoma, buy that, as it is in the similiar vein of material, but with a bit more guitar and hard driven beats.
Industrial Masterpiece.......2001-01-12
A compilation of Bryan Erickson's best work taken from demo CD's "Fate" and "Pestilence", Church of Acid shows a wide range of music background (besides the usual puppy influence). Influences range from the Legendary Pink Dots to Public Enemy to Napalm Death, creating a wonderfully diverse and interesting collage of musical brilliance. Every track on this CD takes you to a different place; never walking over old foot steps. "Hell One" pulls you into the dark world of VAC... deep synths, whispers and cries, demonic soundscapes.. "Let's Kill All These Motherf**kers" thrusts you into total electronic chaos... tracks like "Hallucinagen" offer trippy, quirky synth sequences, topped off by Erickson's distorted voice. Gothier tracks such as "Fade Away" have excellant moody melodies, less voice distortion... You'll find everything on this record, if you're into gothic/industrial/techno/dark wave/ whatever, doesn't matter- this is GOOD music. ALSO, if you're planning to buy this CD, try to find the German Off Beat version with 2 extra tracks "Futile" and "Disflux" which aren't offered on the American version of Church of Acid...

Church of Misery - 'Taste The Pain' (Bad Acid).......2004-11-21
Another good release from the short-lived UK indie label,Bad Acid.'Taste...' is a four(4)track mini-lp from the Japanese band,that according to their bio sheet,has perfected their style of playing psychedelic doom.I dug the title cut,"Taste The Pain" and their heavy cover of Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" the best.Each song here is painfully dedicated to serial killers of our time.For example,"Plainfield" is about Ed Gein.Isn't he the one that the media had done a pretty good job of keeping his killings quiet,for at least several years?Pretty decent,for an EP.Check it out when you get the chance.
Japan's Doom Gods deliver the goods!.......1999-09-09
Wow this is some seriously Heavy stuff. If you you are a fan of classic Doom like Black Sabbath and Witchfinder General you will really dig this wild and trippy band. Cool mind altering guitar sounds and Horrorific serial killer sound bites.
