"Steeped in the shadows of Chicago, Kill Memory Crash (a.k.a. A. SanFacon and A. Sieczka) follow 2003's When the Blood Turns Black with American Automatic, ushering in a new era of industrial music with a calculated assault on the post-Warp electronic scene. Each song on American Automatic develops the band's exploration of the prickly outer edges of human psychology and neurosis, building a formidable musical arsenal. The air of mystery about American Automatic is nearly tangible, underpinning the album's highly relevant focus on the darkness of the modern era. As such an affecting and rejuvenating fusion of rock, electro, and industrial styles, American Automatic will leave an indelible mark not only on the psyche and the dancefloor, but also on the scene from which it was born."

"Kill Memory Crash are back. The follow-up to their debut mini-LP, When the Blood Turns Black, 'Never Forget' takes the intensity of their debut and amplifies it ten fold. More violence, more blood. 'Never Forget' gives a look into thier 2004, yet-to-be-named full-length, that will surprise with more ambient moments as well. The flipside is a remix of one of Blood's standout cuts. The menacing 'Technasty' gets a facelift by the Crash boys and the result is a heavier, meaner monster."

"For over 10 years, Alex and Adam of Chicago's Kill Memory Crash have developed their own blend of dark electronic music without major release. Starting their musical career in Detroit, the group began performing at raves and warehouse parties in the mid-to-late 90's, slowly translating their leftfield influences into a new, cryptic language. Standing on the dividing lines between techno and other musics forced the duo to develop their own style, and early works resembled dark chasms of industrial noise. Their indifference to the popular styles of the day led them into an almost self-imposed exile from the music business and only extremely limited vinyl pressings ever surfaced. Alex and Adam have honed their music to its current state, a sinister blend of industrial, ambient and IDM, working away at the boundaries that held them as outsiders until now. When the Blood Turns Black is a bold first look at a group who blend a complex production style with a searing early electronic attitude. The result is a relentless debut of IDM-infused Industrial and twisted
machine-funk. Kill Memory Crash has a sound that calls upon their heroes (Ministry, Coil, etc.), but that is made completely their own in the process. Bone-hard and Electrified, this is the sound of the machines gone bad."
