Error won't be just another Epitaph band, simply because they intend on being
the Epitaph band...well, at least for the time being.
Bad Religion founder and fellow Epitaph guru Brett Gurewitz joins ex-Tapeworm/
Nine Inch Nails contributor
Atticus Ross, his brother Leopold, and
Dillinger Escape Plan vocalist Greg Puciato for the maddening experiment that is
Error. Their self-titled EP trips down memory lane by plugging heavy industrial-dance beats with more stylized electronic rhythms for a nihilistic set. Who knew Gurewitz, who's entering his forties, still had the steam to create a ruckus? From the explosive punk metal mix of "Nothing's Working" to the freakish electronic storm of "Burn in Hell," Error is far from miscalculating this jaunt. Between Puciato's violent screaming and Atticus Ross' intricate programming, the
Error EP manages to capture everything alt-metal wishes it was with a brave new punk rock face. If the band's cover of
999's "Homicide" doesn't remind you of how great
Front 242 and
Skinny Puppy were in the late '80s, you've completely missed the point.
