CREPTTER CHILDREN, (The) Possessed CD (2009)

Australian industrial goth that doesn't apologise for itself. The Creptter Children were doing dark, abrasive electronic rock before it was palatable, and Possessed is the document.

The local alternative scene has always had its own strange geography, and The Creptter Children occupy a particular corner of it, somewhere between cold industrial texture, gothic atmosphere, and hard rock that actually has teeth. This is the kind of record that surfaces in vinyl crates and op shop CD bins and makes someone stop and say, wait, this is Australian? This is a genuine artefact of the domestic dark alternative underground, and those don't stay cheap forever.

CD, full length album, Australian release, 2009. Industrial / goth / hard rock.
