Pulsating and throbbing beats, hypnotic and alluring synth lines, aggressive and scorching guitar riffs, intense and emotional lyrics ~ just a few words to describe the music of RAZED IN BLACK.
"DAMAGED is Razed In Black's latest offering. This double CD package includes a special bonus disc with 8 remixes and 2 enhanced CDR videos of live performances. Damaged is simply one of the most intelligent hybrids of trance techno programming, darkwave songwriting and brutally aggressive guitar riffs. Think Paul Oakenfold meets NIN meets Ministry. This new album brings the two strands, techno and industrial, and threads them together with expertise and finesse to create one of the most densely-layered, seductively dark yet wholly invigorating albums to come along in quite some time." ~ All Music Guide.

Previously released in 1996, Shrieks Laments, and Anguished Cries is the first official full length album by Hawaii's own RAZED IN BLACK. Formerly known in the islands as Lost Souls, solo composer Romell Regulacion created quite an impact in Hawaii's alternative scene. During the era in which bands like Nine Inch Nails, Ministry and KMFDM were in prime highlight, Lost Souls fit comfortably alongside quickly gaining popularity. Lost Souls caught the eye of LA's gothic-industrial label Cleopatra Records, who signed the artist as RAZED IN BLACK after discovering other bands with the Lost Souls name. Since then, the band have produced a handful of impressive albums, each progressively taking electronic music to the next level. With guest appearances as producer, remixer or performer on more than a hundred albums, RAZED IN BLACK's popularity continues to grow. Remastered and repackaged, we proudly represent this deluxe re-issue with three unreleased bonus tracks from that early Razed In Black era.
