AUGUST 20, 2006 Album Review, The Truth (Fiend Magazine Australia, Issue 11) "...Crimes of the Primary's raw abandonment will make it a force to be reckoned with. Keep your eye on this band..." Kathryn Williams _________________________________ AUGUST 19, 2006 Album Review, The Truth (Blunt Magazine Australia, Issue 52) Packing a hefty load in the industrial division, this West Australian five piece have stepped away from the big beat style of their Coma debut of a couple of years ago, finding comfort in some very dark and emotional places indeed. Overwhelmingly serious in it's scope, the songs here are thick with electronica and lush with dense instrumentation. The nightmarish edge everything has here is no doubt the result of a serious illness suffered by singer Ellis Atherton, putting the band out of action for two years. The Truth isnt a pretty record, and as with anything in this style, there are echoes of NIN, but COTP retain an abundance of their own personality while navigating through visceral and dense soundscapes.

JUNE 30, 2006 Issue 14 of Groove Magazine is on the shelves, featuring an indepth interview with Ellis Atherton, discussing the motivation and the process behind the making of "The Truth". This issue also contains an album review (below) from Sylvester Fox. Album Review, The Truth. (Sylvester Fox) Be Warned, this is no walk in the park. Settling down into "The Crust" we are presented with some ambience to the left and a gasping subhuman vocal to the right. The drums are pounding and it's a soundscape that could accompany a manic wet Saturday night in the back streets of a lonely city. The Crust gets more manic until it dies."Grandad" might not approve of this song being named after him but it ticks along like a well oiled electronic machine until doses of "guitar-like" guitars rain down on this desolate soundtrack. And thats the idea, this is literally the sound of Crimes main man Ellis Atherton's last two years hanging onto the threads of his life. I just hope they have made a film to accompany this majestic madness. This is the Crimes industrial thing taken one giant step further, with the only feeble references I can muster are the darkest strains of NIN, Ministry, Rammstein mixed up with the atmospherics of a later, meaner Massive Attack. But even that doesnt do any justice to this gargantuan sonic blast. Without the assistance of any solvents it will scare the shit out of you and it will hurt. But you'll know youre alive. _______________________
