Press Reviews Luddite Clone whip the shit out of CD technology, creating an intricate mass of aggression that is instantly recognizable as their own (no digital nuances in this chaos). After two EPs, this band is surely one to watch... Brutal and exciting. -Punkrocks.net ...an unnerving, fluster of metallic sounds intertwined with jazz-oriented riffing and drumming that would bring the beast out of the most timid. -Eclipse Magazine ... Delivering their standard dose of technically precise grind/hardcore/metal, they are sure to impress even the most experienced metal listener. -Into-Obscurity.com ...These guys are the new face of extreme. -Loudnet ... Luddite Clone marry death metal and noisecore into a short-circuit designed to maim at ten paces. Imagine your head in a quickly tightening vise and actually liking it - that's what "The Arsonist And The Architect" achieves in very quick fashion... The overwhelming technical nature of Luddite Clone is as impressive as it is awe-inspiring... Death metal fans looking for something different will find a reason to rejoice with "The Arsonist And The Architect" while grindcore fans can return to extreme music's visionary path with Luddite Clone's attention to detail. -RoughEdge ... The New Jersey five-piece practice a scorched earth policy with their grinding metal-core, flaying and flamethrowing around like close neighbors Converge on a massive meth binge, warp-speeding that band's grimy East Coast abuse a good 200 mph faster - a mere six songs in 13 minutes, stun's the word. Sparks shooting all about, guitarists Ian Berkowitz and Andrew Shearer keep their mathy riffs well within the boundaries of burly, both men forever competing with the rhythm section (bassist Kevin Hannum and drummer Bob Raf) for how mind-fucked they can get. -Ink19.com ... Grind with brain and heart. -Discover.de
