L.O.T.I.O.N. Multinational Corporation are a New York City collective of musicians, visual artists, DJ/'s and activists that churn out music that sounds as if it's inspiration comes from some kind of other horrible planet you want no part of. But in reality, all this is happening all around us. In a land that's masquerading as a place of hope and promise. When just beneath the surface of pride and nationalism is a much darker reality for many. A place where these dreams of prosperity are built on the broken spirits of those deemed undesirable and undeserving. Sonically, this band combines machine grinding industrial guitars, pulsating thunderous dance beats, with ferocious vocals that sound as if they're coming from some sort of digitized demon entity.
From what I can gather, this is the band's fourth LP of new original material, not counting remix, demos, or rarity collections. They debuted back in 2015 with a sound that hasn't taken them too far off their current path, but has improved in their decade plus of musical travels. Don't get me wrong, their last LP, 2022's W.A.R. In The Digital Age was also a triumph of industrial, dance, noise savagery. But this new LP seems to really be firing on all cylinders of creativity. The production on Machine Hallucinations is stellar and really captures the fear and alarm the band is trying to instill in the listener. Whatever you hear in this record, whatever personal experiences you project on to it, make no mistake that your adrenaline and dopamine will spike to near overload levels listening to it. And that's why I love it.
