Absolutely essential, Panic Lift’s sophomore effort after the self released, limited edition EP ‘Dancing Through the Ashes’ is a monumental collection of songs, nearly any of which could stand on their own as singles. With the concussive force of a runaway supercollider, Panic Lift exploded onto the industrial music scene in 2006, and they instantly careened to the forefront of the NYC industrial music scene.
Word of mouth and their live shows across the Northeast and California saw the debut EP quickly sell out, leaving fans waiting in anticipation of a full-length album. And now Hive Records is pleased to release Witness to Our Collapse, a masterpiece of storming beats, memory-searing hooks and flawless production.
Equally destructive on the dancefloor as it is with more reflective listening, this album is a testament to the ideology that industrial music can be both agressive and epic, as well as carefully crafted. The songwriting transcends the repetitive, predictable cliches of current cookie-cutter releases in the hard electronic scene and proves that the future of industrial music is here, and it’s going to kick you right in the fucking face.
Pounding, chestplate-stomping beats and pulsing throbs of bass send convulsions through your body, while the razorwire synth lines and emotive fragments of piano and guitar pull a wicked smile across your face. Featuring more than a couple of surprises, this is not an album to be missed, and will set the bar irretrievably high for other acts in the EBM and electro-industrial scene.

Just found this live video of PL performing "Transient", a track on the upcoming album. Should give a little taste of the new style. Also their Facebook page has 'demos' of new tracks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtNzMVN6EVs

Absolutely, hands down, one of my favourite bands. Witness To Our Collapse isn't perfect but it's the next best thing. A new release, assuming it will follow the style of WtoC would be complete and utter perfection. The vocal emotion, dark mood of the music and range in style just sets Panic Lift apart from the other harsh bands. Life Cried is also similar and a top favourite too; though the mood is more dominant in Life Cried, Panic Lift steps up in range. Life Cried remix of 'Failsafe' too is just perfection. -My two pence.

i wish panic lift would just become a band like filter or stabbing westward. theyd be so much better and hell of a lot more popular. i really dont know what he's doing messing around with a dead end genre like 'ebm' or 'industrial'.
