A compilation co-released by the two US label Crunch Pod and Sistinas, the "industrial records"-style looking "Materia Fria" compilation present together quite a few acts which have been making a name for themselves in the american industrial scene (Cat, Manufactura, Caustic, Endif) as well as a selection of newcomers trying their teeth at basically everything between gritty EBM and rhythmic noise. In the end, this is a pretty varied CD, with many different genres and production levels, and a good way to check what's going on with this scene in the US.
