One of the world's favorite DJs, Doc Martin hardly needs an introduction. Beginning his mission on the decks back in the summer of 1986, his focus on house music from the land of funk and disco was triggered while playing the club and warehouse scene in San Francisco during the late 80s and 90s.

"Black Light Burns is former Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland's new project that also features former members of A Perfect Circle, Nine Inch Nails, and Methods of Mayhem. Black Light Burns' overall sound is closer to that of Nine Inch Nails than anything ever put out by Limp Bizkit. The computerized notes on many songs on the album are at times reminiscent of Stabbing Westward or even She Wants Revenge." --Tunelab

"If you're still out of the loop, Ceremony plays hardcore stylistically similar to early acts like Negative Approach and Black Flag, or more recently, Unbroken. What the songs lack in length they make up for in intensity. And even though the songs aren't written in style of much of today's hardcore, there are plenty of opportunities to sing-along. In fact, "You're all the Same" and "Throwing Bricks" are just that, entire songs as sing-alongs." -- Scene Point Blank
