WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT SKREW'S DUSTED ALBUM....

I can't reiterate enough the fact that if you enjoy Ministry, Skrew will efficiently cut the mustard and serve up a slightly less aggrandized, but by no means less pernicious platter of deranged, borderline-thrash abuse and drug-fueled vocal musings.
                       METAL-ARCHIVES REVIEWS

Skrew is up there with Ministry, KMFDM, Foetus, Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly, Malhavoc, G.G.F.H., Celldweller and Nine Inch Nails in the Industrial sweepstakes.
                            BREWSTER REVIEWS

"Picasso Trigger" highlights the thick guitar chugging that separates the group from lesser mid-'90s industrial metal outfits.  ALLMUSIC REVIEWS

When it comes to the typical mid ‘90s industrial/metal mix (I’m talking artists like KMFDM and Ministry and their copycats), Dusted is pretty much the peak.

ABOUT THE ALBUM

Skrew’s 1994 industrial metal classic, Dusted, is finally available on vinyl for the very first time. Originally released on Metal Blade Records, Dusted captured the raw intensity of its predecessor, Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame, while evolving into a heavier, more cohesive album that solidified Skrew’s reputation as pioneers of the genre. Often hailed as the band’s best work, Dusted bridges the gap between industrial chaos and thrash metal ferocity, delivering a sound as blasphemous as it is groundbreaking.

With Dusted, Adam Grossman’s unrelenting vision comes to life in a series of tracks that balance raw aggression with darkly atmospheric precision. Songs like “Picasso Trigger” are monuments to the industrial metal movement, combining submerged electronic drums, power chords that tear through the mix, and Grossman’s venomous vocal intensity. Critics have described the album as “angry music for angry people,” and tracks such as “Season for Whither” and “Mouthful of Dust” underline this sentiment with massive grooves and riffs that embody the controlled chaos of the genre’s peak. By dialing back some of the experimental excesses of their debut, Skrew created an album that feels sharper, heavier, and more focused—a defining statement of ‘90s industrial metal.

Grossman’s role as both frontman and mastermind ensures that Dusted is as uncompromising as it is innovative. His delivery—a mix of bastardized rants and scathing declarations—is perfectly suited to the album’s themes of discontent and rebellion. For fans of Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Skinny Puppy, and Circle of Dust, Dusted remains a benchmark for what industrial metal can achieve when the riffs hit as hard as the electronic elements.

This first-ever vinyl edition brings Dusted into a new era. Limited to just 250 copies on vibrant orange vinyl, the release features a 12x12 full-color lyric insert and a reflective write-up from Grossman, giving fans deeper insight into the album’s enduring legacy. Mastered for vinyl by Rob Colwell (In This Moment, Voivod, Nevermore), the sound is as crushing and immersive as ever.

With this reissue, Dusted returns as a visceral reminder of industrial metal’s power to challenge, provoke, and defy expectations. It’s more than just an album—it’s a piece of history that still resonates with fans of heavy music today.
