about

"I must say, this Mind of God record is sincerely Bad Ass!! It is really effective at influencing the 'lighting' in a room. It's really well put together, and in moments, it beautifully pays homage in sound and arrangement to some of it's more Broadrick-esque predecessors." - Tannon Penland (LOINCLOTH / GAUCHISTE)

"This album is AWESOME." - Josh Eustis (NINE INCH NAILS / PUSCIFER / TELEFON TEL AVIV / THE BLACK QUEEN)

"'Ominous' is the kind of animal that knows just how effective psychological terror can be, with its heavy industrial and dub rhythms and sounds producing an atmosphere of intense darkness. It’s as good as impossible to listen to this and not have a sense of paranoia grow; such is the malice and threat held in these six songs. The beats are incredibly heavy, and it’s hard not to be absorbed in to them; despite the undeniable heaviness, there’s also something quite ambient about 'Ominous', with each track building an aura that drowns the listener, submerging them in the dark, treacherous waters. It’s safe to say that this is one album that lives up to its name." - Stuart Wain (The Sound, Not The Word Webzine)

"Pizzolato has made phenomenal use of earth-shaking lows, piercing highs, and the placement of sounds, so that the music has a kind of three-dimensional character. Wherever you choose to play it, it’s worthy of a good-quality sound system." - Kate MacDonald of Heathen Harvest Periodical

"Interesting, new, and refreshing underground act from the U.S. Working on a sound/style which was sadly forgotten in the late '90s. If anyone could remember the works of Mick Harris and James Bullen (Scorn), or the sound of Coil in the late '80s ('Windowpane' era) or maybe even the static electronic melancholia of Autechre - 'Amber', you would have a way of describing the sound of Mind of God. Dub and psychedelic-inspired minimal industrial. It's damn refreshing and original and incredibly well done! Sounds, atmospheres, and trippy drums swirl around and jump between your speakers creating an awesome audio vortex!" - Per Najbjerg Odderskov of Tironas Magazine

"Debut AOW full-length of Jason Pizzolato's Mind of God, following the project's 'Electro-Battle Preparation Tactics' EP. 'Ominous' is a much darker and more frigid work, a hypnotic assault of buzzing minimalistic deathdub, electronic detritus, and deeply psychedelic textures. Given a crushing mastering job by John Stillings (of Steel Hook Prostheses), 'Ominous' is an absolutely room-shaking affair through speakers and a hallucinatory excursion into drug-addled staticism through headphones. A nightmare vision of dystopian anxiety." - Cory Strand of AOW Records
