For Fans Of
Atomizer is the debut full-length from Big Black, Steve Albini's ferocious Chicago band, recorded in 1985 and originally released in 1986. Built on slashing, metallic guitars, Dave Riley's heavy bass, and the punishing precision of a Roland drum machine in place of a human drummer, it pairs sheer sonic violence with Albini's sardonic, unflinching songwriting. Widely regarded as one of the defining records of American noise rock and post-hardcore, its influence on heavy and underground music is impossible to overstate. Pressed on black vinyl by Touch and Go Records.
