Biography
Pyrrhic State Faction came into existence in early May 2002. Founder, and sole member Paul Broome (of Earth Calling Angela, Monica's Last Prayer, Fluid Power Society, etc) saw and sees this particular project as a much needed steam-vent for the more visceral/pounding thoughts which seem to rise in his head more often than is probably healthy - and which don't really fall into step with any of his other projects.
Pyrrhic State Faction's over-whelming musical desire is to take the an industrial techno-template, inject it with a little retro-Goth attitude, add a sprinkling of punk, a little ambient krautrockiness, stick it all on a UK-based spin-cycle, then see what we have - sometimes slowing it all down, sometimes driving it on at full tilt. Hopefully it's kind of 'dance music' you can actually sit down and listen to.

The first release, the 'Litmus EP', was released in June 2002. This was a collection of abrasive industrial-metal songs - which went down pretty well. However, things changed quite a lot by the time the first full-length album ('Controll') was finally finished (in 2004). This is an album of industrial-techno instrumentals - using retro sounds and digital soft synths to generate a journey through differing soundscapes, sometimes chilled and sometimes pounding (and sometimes both).
Both releases are available in full, for FREE download here.
There'll be some new output from this particular project sometime in 2008 (once Paul has fulfilled all his other musical commitments, finished that novel, brushed the cat and re-wallpapered the bedroom).
