Consciousness Razing' was the first release without 1-k. This allowed for a more unrestrained sound and also for a more free moving imagination. The whole album was recorded at Scrape HQ (called Chaos) with Rafael Maliba (as sound engineer). Learning from the past mistakes with the 'Corrupt.Condemn.Crush' sessions, I decided to produce the album myself (I even did all the artwork for the first time). This also marked a move toward more complex song structures and club friendly beats.

Noise was not fully abandoned as songs such as 'Racket' can attest but in many of the songs, noise was an element that was molded and shaped to work with the other elements and was not always the primary driving force in many songs. I feel that this is the album that was in me needing to get out from the very beginning of Scrape. Many factors such as lack of skill, band member problems, as well as an environment that was not enabling me to really move forward all played a part in that not happening sooner.

Now the test will be to continue to expand and build on that initial vision and see what I can do with it.
