sorry sean, usually i agree with what you say but you need to give it
another listen. it doesn't sound anything like the chem bros... WAY harder
and more abrasive. also much more technoish. chembros are more like hip
hop beats with acid squiggles on top. there's no comparison...
anyway, yes, herd killing is probably the same as we have explosive (herd
killing) since a lot of the same sounds are in both herd killing and we
have explosive on the album.
