Calling LD-50 an industrial band would almost be like calling nicotine
non-addicting. You can't really prove it to be true, but you have your
inclinations. Instead you might be better off trying to describe LD-50 as a
fusion of funk, samples, and bizarre guitar work that feels like a blow to the
head. Sure a large number of the more modern elements of industrial musics are
present, the nonconventional vocal style, oddly arranged vocal samples, a
strong political stance, and guitar blitzes that run parallel to the electronic
work yet the final product ends up sounding more like out of practice rock band
than anything. LD-50 seems to be lacking any sort of solid cohesive sound and
the music ends up sounding like a loosely coupled arrangement of eclectic
instrumentation. Perhaps the inclusion of Clark ov Saturn formerly of Electrode
Dingus 2026 will spark the band to formulate a positive musical direction.

Robert Betts - programming, percussion, noise, keyboards and vocals
Mark Melville - guitar, keyboards, noise and vocals
