16VOLT – More of Less - digiCD

16Volt returns with “More of Less” --a fierce, industrial rock comeback fusing raw power, dark melody, and high-voltage emotion. It marks an explosive return of 16Volt, the pioneering industrial rock outfit helmed by Eric Powell, after a seven-year hiatus. This long-awaited full-length album reasserts 16Volt's place at the forefront of genre-defying heaviness, welding the raw aggression of early industrial metal with sleek, modern production. The album's lead single "White Noise" sets the tone with grinding guitars and a defiant vocal performance about invisibility and disconnection--"you become just white noise," Powell explains, "that static sound of nothingness." More of Less channels that angst through precision-engineered riffs, surgical synths, and relentless percussion, echoing the tension and decay of a world in collapse. This release follows the sold-out vinyl debut of 1993's Wisdom and the 2024 archival compilation NegativeOnArrivals. But More of Less is no retrospective--it's a forward-thrusting beast, born of Powell's sharpened songwriting and vision honed over decades, bolstered by past collaborations with genre luminaries like David Ogilvie, Paul Raven, and Chris Vrenna. Pressed on high-grade vinyl, the LP captures the band's signature sound--equal parts industrial abrasion and melodic ruin--offering longtime fans and new listeners a fierce, uncompromising listening experience. For fans of Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, KMFDM, Stabbing Westward, Chemlab, Front Line Assembly, Gravity Kills, Orgy, Marilyn Manson, Nitzer Ebb, Filter, Skinny Puppy and early Pitchshifter.
