Artist description Harsh blast beats and wierd, dissonant, strangely processed alien ambience mixed together mixed with really harsh, distorted, non human sounding vocals and bizarre sound collage structured noise progressions with unique yet abrasive sounds processed in such a way to sound a little more unique than the typical "lets overdrive and reverb a techno beat " formula that plagues too many so called "industrial" bands bands who put simple dancefloor appeal over experimentation and artistic rage, reducing themselves to the status of raver music for goths and wannabe rivetheads. its time to bring the more surreal culture shock side of industrial back into the genre, and fatal rupture decided to set the example by creating an alien and alienating soundtrack to the schizophrenia of both other worlds and the sheer absurdity of our own

Artist History The Band originally started out as a sample collage performance experiment between Aresh Nyokuretzung and Greaegoerie AlterKhan. originally piecing together samples and soundbites of everything from congressional speeches, to hate filled arguments caught on tape and obscure horror film samples to short clips from EBM or heavy metal albums, and occasional post neubauten scrap metal percussion alternating with mess of sound bites. over time, sound manipulation software was aquired and wierd chaotic drone and and noise elements were added into the cut ups. this project performed once, in an abandoned sewer pipe in a bad part of town, and had and unexpected audience of two hip hop / G girls who climbed down into the pipe to find out what that racket was. as time passed after this, and Fatal rupture got more software, and became more proficient at using it (or abusing it, in some views, the tape collage element fazed out and the project gradually evolved into a "band" bent on making disturbing bizzarre intelligent industrial music, evolving from merzbow like chaos to the addition of elements of distinct structure and rhythm without reducing or compromising the sheer harshness or wierdness of the music.
