Killing Floor certainly knows how to bring down the house with the release of
it's first single for "Come Together". Containing two album tracks from their
second album as well as three radical remixes and a rather amusing bonus track,
Killing Floor make themselves known with a vengeance. First up is the Institute
of Technology's club remix of 'Tear It All Away', which is totally devoid of
guitars. In fact little remains of the original track except for the vocals and
beat structure. The IT guys fill the empty space with a variety of sci-fi
samples, Techno-wizardry and noisy percussion to make this my personal
favorite track. Next up is the Alien Faktor remix of 'About To Break' that also
contains a fair amount of added electronic material with the core guitars being
pulled deeper into the mix so that they become totally a rhythm device as
opposed to the core elements. Last up is the Christ Analogue remix of 'Wood',
which is filled with static-laden and choppy percussion with the guitars once
again stripped to non-existent. In fact, this track is so minimalistic, you can
almost catch frontman Christian Void actually singing as opposed to his usual
screwed affair. Overall quite a radically different collection of remixes, each
utilizing little original source material, making for quite a diverse
selection of music.
