"Kiss The Blade" is one of those EPs which may be easily overlooked. Even though its rare being limited to several hundred physical copies, it remains a definite highlight in the Combichrist, and Electro-Industrial areas.
The title track ("motherf**ker mix"), is a genius rendition of John Carpenter's theme to the cult classic horror film series "Halloween" with some very haunting lyrics. The remix ("frequensy cabrone mix") has some powerful machine noises which shouldn't disappoint.
"Minus One" has a very menacing background sound as if its a telling of a ongoing war, battle, or conflict. Again, machine crunching noises dominate the piece. Andy mesmerizes his listeners in just a little over three minutes.
"The Well", meanwhile takes a turn. Still sticking to its Electro roots, its alot less upbeat but manages to still get a dark message across through mysterious sounds and a sample.
And the EP concludes with the dramatic "Penalty Shot", which remains constantly upbeat and nasty right to the bitter sudden end. A few brief samples appear (one which would reappear on one of the tracks from the limited digipak edition of "What The F**k"), but seems to make it even more alive.
Overall, the EP will surely have people longing for more after its over. This is the holy grail of the Combichrist chronology as of yet.
