Exploding with melodic and pummeling industrial-tinged post-punk, on FOTOCRIME's fifth and newest LP, Security, the band erupts in an unexpectedly aggressive tone. This more guitar-driven punk direction may seem like a pivot, but to those in the know it's inherent in FOTOCRIME leader Ryan Patterson's musical history and DNA.
Patterson is a musician, producer, visual artist, and the creative force behind COLISEUM, CAT MAGIC PUNKS, BLACK CROSS, and SHIRT KILLER, amongst many other bands and endeavors. On Security, Patterson is joined by new members Benjamin Clark (ELLIOTT) on guitar and David Cundiff on bass. The album features appearances from drummer Jay Weinberg (SLIPKNOT), legendary vocalist Barney Greenway of NAPALM DEATH, Aaron Turner (SUMAC, ISIS), Brian Cook (RUSSIAN CIRCLES, BOTCH), and a cavalcade of veteran Louisville artists. Musician and noted producer J. Robbins (JAWBOX) also performed on several tracks and sat in at Patterson's the House Of Foto Studio to co-produce, engineer, and co-mix the effort with him.
