BITS "The Crazies" EP Review

Beauty In The Suffering, the brainchild of DieTrich Thrall, has just released The Crazies EP and it is industrialy excellent. This is simple and to the point; BITS goes full throttle from the first note until the last.

“Juliet” starts off as a scorcher and gets you pumped up; that is, unless you are a zombie. Next up is the “Crazies (The Zombie Song)” which is equally as good if just a bit lighter. I believe BITS is setting themselves up for a long future just in these two songs as they show that, even within the confines of Industrial, they will push boundaries.

“Reveille” is another swing in a different industrial way. Dietrich clearly wants to push boundaries again. There is no way to explain how awesome the three original tracks are and then they hit you with an amazing cover, The Outfield’s “Your Love,” and keep it to a faithful industrial cover. As someone who loves the orginal , this cover just deepens my love for the song.

This EP covers all mainstream industrial sounds while adding in many subtle underground sounds. They clearly want to set up for the future and give fans the full palette of industrial sounds. This is another EP that is worthwhile to pick up, if not just for the reason you can say I knew them back when.
