Pitchshifter are a British industrial rock/metal band originally hailing from Nottingham.
Their first few releases had a distinctive industrial sound where the influential gaze of Godflesh was abundantly apparent.
The simplified 808 style drum tracks and sluggish drone guitars evolved over the next decade to produce some of the most intense loop based crunching metal/punk riffs and hard floor dance rhythm sections.
Throughout their highly acclaimed career although often commercially overlooked, Pitchshifter were often heralded with founding the Electro Punk genre with JS Claydon’s ‘sex pistols’ barrages on the current state of the UK, simplistic chord driven guitar lines and the inclusion of more and more elaborate sampling and synth based elements.
Similar to previous attempts at this meld of minds such as pop will eat itself (PWEI) Pitchshifter created an intense and dedicated fan-base who still work hard to promote the outfit.
Although the band officially ceased to be after releasing the album PSI, they have continued to reform for the occasional festival appearance or one-off event each of which is accompanied by one-off releases for ticket holders.
Since shutting down the PSI-political propaganda machine, members have gone on to work on various projects together and solo, including this is menace, a super group comprising of members of amen, hundred reasons, funeral for a friend and earthone9.

P.S.I. is nearly flawless, but i'm yet to really be crazy about anything else, although it is all slowly starting to grow on me, even the early Godflesh/Fear Factory style stuff like Industrial and Submit.

They were my first ever gig 9 years ago, around 220 gigs later I'd still count it as one of my best. I was so sore the next day I couldn't get out of bed and my ears rang for about a week, heh. Now days I'm happy just to stand in the middle and enjoy.

I'd say www.pitchshifter.com has the most dnb elements. Also try Infotainment, it's basically the transition between their old and new sounds, which works great for me since I like both.
