“At Retroactive Records, we are in love with the 90’s industrial-metal of bands like Circle Of Dust, Brainchild, Klank, Chatterbox, Ministry and Nine Inch Nails. When we came across the Bumpus Hounds demo, we could hardly contain ourselves. How had this industrial-metal treasure stayed so obscure that none of us had even heard of it? How could music this good have flown completely under our radars for almost 30 years? And, lastly, how could we correct this grave injustice? We found Eric Shirey on Facebook and found out that there was more than just the infamous Bumpus Hounds – the band went on to produce Primary Censor, Abstain and Coarse. We scrubbed planet earth and the next six galaxies to find digital and physical copies of the music that ended up on this 2-CD set called INDUSTRIAL EVOLUTION. One band evolved into another band, that evolved into another, etc.” -Retroactive Records
