Press Reviews "I, Parasite produces very captivating and confrontational music" - Newgrave \n "The band is particularly good at layering complex, classical-sounding sequences over aggressive rythms and overdriven vocals. This makes for an album that is strong from s t art to finish. " - Sentamentalist \n "Horseslayer, their second full length album, represents just about everything I have ever loved about industrial - dark dystopian atmospheres, multi-faceted inhuman percussion, juxtaposed anachronistic and futurist ic synth esized instruments, and goulish vocals. " - Outburn \n "I had no previous experience with I, Parasite before receiving both these cd's for review, and I have been immediately converted, and will remain an avid fan until they start doing full Ya nni tribute c d's. If you like the old-school mangled sounds of industrial, then go for I, Parasite. " - Psionic \n " [Turin] is an oppressive black wall of gothic industrial haze not to be attempted by the faint of ear or heart. " - Outburn \n "...One of the most brillian t new artist to emerge into the industrial/electro scene. " - Deadwyre \n "[Turin] took me on one of the deepest journeys into the sickest, dirtiest, most fucked up parts of my brain! Who knew you could make sickness so beautiful? ...Mere words can not desc ribe this incredible album. You need to experience this for yourself!" - Electro Sleeze \n "They have their own distinctive sound which is enough to propel them further into this genre of mediocre industrial bands. Who says A merican industrial is dead? I, Parasite is proof that such a breed exists on these shores." - Last Sigh \n "[Turin] is fucking incredible! " - Squiduary v
