Desensitized is the second album by the industrial metal band, Pitch Shifter, released on Earache Records in 1993.[6] A music video was made for the track "Triad" that featured the band playing in a white room. The same track was also featured in the 1994 science fiction/horror film Brainscan.
Critical reception
[edit]The Encyclopedia of Popular Music wrote that "the lyrics built on the themes of oppression and social injustice, while the use of samplers and sequencers offered an extra aural dimension."[5] Metal Hammer's The Book of Metal wrote that "the rumbling bass lines and jarring Prong-esque guitars filled dancefloors in alternative clubs across Europe."[2]
