Discharge Information System - s/t

Chamber-punk with cello and drums-- along the lines of Bonfire Madigan. Driving, ominous with drum pounding and periodic screaming. At times features sludgy cello riffs with lots of distortion at times evoking Sabbath-style metal. Sometimes tighter, more classical-style cello. Good!
PICS: 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10,

1. starts slow with cool distorted cello, speeds up, drums come in -- metal-esque -- great!!
2. sinister deep cello, repeated motifs
3. starts with clanky drums, plucked cello, rocks out at the end
4. ominous low cello, slow at beginning, speeds up, drums come in + screams!
5. steady drum beat + distorted cello, driving, changes speeds
6. faster, catchy cello riff, end rocks out, great screaming
7. two people yelling/chanting + cello at beginning, great drum beat, crunchy cello
8. higher cello + pounding drums
9. more ominous cello, great screaming!!
10. fast cello then cello with heavy distortion -- great!!
11. driving, churning cello -- song ends at (-5:40), short secret track at (-:30) which is talking and cello bursts
