BIG BLACK

Abrasive, influential Chicago hardcore band of the '80s that featured Steve Albini's 

uncompromising lyrics and a polarizing, emotionless guitar grind. 

While punk rock was always supposed to be about pushing the envelope, few post-punk 

bands seemed willing to go quite so far to creatively confront their audience as Big Black. 

The group's guitars alternately sliced like a machete and ground like a dentist's drill, 

creating a groundbreaking and monolithic dissonance in the process. 

Their use of a drum machine, cranked up to ten and sounding a tattoo that pummeled 

the audience into submission, was a crucial precursor to the coming industrial music scene 

while creating a sound which was far more challenging and organic than what groups 

such as Ministry and Nine Inch Nails would achieve with similar ingredients. 

Big Black's songs, which openly dealt with such topics as mutilation, murder, rape, 

child molestation, arson, immolation, racism, and misogyny, 

established them as a group that acknowledged no taboos

"Ready Men" and "Grinder" are satisfyingly ornery, and the noise-fest of "My Disco" isn't far behind...

...Big Black were massive Wire fans, so it came as no surprise that they would cover 

one of Wire's songs. While Wire covers became extremely common years later

 -- even disguised with new titles on many occasions -- Big Black chose one 

of the band's lesser known numbers, the hushed "Heartbeat" from Chairs Missing. 

Lo and behold, they make it cranky and raucous...(AllMusic)
