Porcupine Defense is the solo project of Terminal Sect's Colin Schwen that
sounds so much like it's parent project that one wonders why it was released
under a new name at all. The resemblance between "Splinter" and the Terminal
Sect album "Bread and Wine for the Dirt" is uncanny. So much so that you could
transparently exchange tracks between each release without really noticing. It
certainly goes without saying that if you enjoy Terminal Sect that you will
absolutely love Porcupine Defense. What is even more unnerving is that this is
the same band who released a pathetic debut album on None of the Above Records
several years ago and within a mere fraction of that time has release two superb
releases that make most American Industrial music pale in comparison to them.
Colin Schwen and Howard Wulkan are definitely going places and the rest us have
no choice but to follow along and be consistently impressed at each new twist
and turn they choose to follow down their musical path.
