Fresh from unleashing Machine in full force at Roadburn, longtime UK system impresser The Bug drops 'Burials/Mud', a scorned rework of Machine album cuts pushed further into dub and distortion. Visiting producer Logan lights up the retooled 'Buried (Your Life Is Short)' as 'Bury Dem', while Magugu resurfaces on the previously digital-only 'Deep In A Mud', now pressed to vinyl. Both are accompanied by fierce dub mutations, welding harsh textures with low-end weight. The Bug calls it "verbal grime and sonic filth", a snarling midpoint between the industrial clang of Machine and the dubbed-out chaos of his live sets. No smoothing of edges here, just rhythm at its ruthlessless.
