To Avoid – Trust EPCD

WP SMTP — Fri, 02 May 2025 07:57:29 +0000

Once a concert‑only collectible, “Trust” is now up for grabs in a tiny final batch via Alfa Matrix and all digital stores. Originally self‑released in November 2022, this EP laid the groundwork for TO AVOID’s current assault: the razor‑edged single‑edit of “Trust”, a previously unheard 2011 demo of “View,” plus six detonating remixes from NULL404, Brain Leisure, Funker Vogt, Statiqbloom, Seven Trees and Vein Cramp. Expect classic late‑’80s EBM bite, ’90s dark‑electro menace and a modern industrial punch that fans of FRONT 242, early SKINNY PUPPY or VOMITO NEGRO will recognise in a heartbeat. Supplies are minimal – secure your physical copy now before it disappears for good.

It’s the same adrenaline cocktail of late‑’80s EBM muscle, ’90s dark‑electro shadows and present‑day industrial firepower that made their most recent album “All Gods Are Gone” on Alfa Matrix hit so hard. Quantities are razor‑thin – grab your copy before this ‘Driver’ takes off for good.
