A MEANS BY WHICH TO BREAK THE SURFACE OF THE REAL features David Castillo of PRIMITIVE WEAPONS/WHITE WIDOWS PACT, Daniel Suffering of WHORID, as well as contributions from Matt Slagle and engineer Kevin D. Reilly, Jr., who has periodically worked with Lee M. Bartow since the earliest incarnations of Navicon Torture Technologies (back in the mid-late '90s). Tortured screams reach out over the tumbling industrial workings below. Low register whispered meanderings slowly rise to meet those screams. Machines' rhythmic drones fold in on the voices. Sirens invite and warn. Sink into the synthetic abyss. Limited to 500 copies.
