Albums Feral BIOS

Press Reviews 'Truly cyberpunk, this Johnny Rotten snarling over thrashy, trashy hip-hop.' 'As dynamic and attention-grabbing as a big stick with nails in it.' -Joanna Theobald: Terrorizer [feral bios] 'Katscan have inherited Sheep On Drugs mantle as kings of camp, spikey industrial disco. A damn fine debut'. -Mark Chapman: Metal Hammer [feral bios] 'Feral BIOS' signifies an all-time peak for both Diablo and co-muppet Maximum D-Fect.' 'The dynamic duo have grafted furious hip-hop beats onto the severed limbs of elektro rock with surgical precision.' -GileZ Moorhouse: Rock Sound [feral bios] 'THE PERFECT soundtrack for a Friday night out at the Electric Ballroom or a Saturday night at the Slimelight' 'Jesus you can almost feel the come-down just listening to it!' -Mörat: Kerrang! [feral bios] 'After hearing (Screaming Like A) Crack Baby on the Defcon 1 compilation, this was one album I simply had to hear!' 'makes me want to pull weird faces, in the same way Nik Fiend used to when I was 16! -Rancid: Meltdown [feral bios] 'A full-on tornado of dark electro-goth, mixing the high-camp sleaze of Specimen and Bauhaus with the industrial stomp of KMFDM.' -Mark Chapman: Official 2000AD website [feral bios] 'An abrasive, electronic take on "nu"-metal and punk with dark dance-ability and bitchy goth. Add to this a factory noise enthusiast's sample collection, doom laden 'spooky' atmospheres, a style that is uniquely English' -Claire Dyer: Rock City website [feral bios] 'Imagine the mutant offspring of Sheep On Drugs combined with drum 'n' bass, gabba, industrial loops and 'phat' beats and you get Katscan's very own blend of electropunk and digital terror' -Tony: Black Harvest [beat surgery] 'A refreshingly reckless and experimental infusion of distorted mutant beats, samples and other strangeness.' 'The diversity packed into these tracks is formidable.' 'Katscan are positively bursting with creativity' -Andi Penquin: Meltdown [beat surgery]
