About Me

Check out the new album from the HAZMAT side-project, EARTHWORM:
Here's what the Razor Blade Dance Floor podcast said about the HAZMAT album, 4 Point Perspective, "My industrial rock record of the year. There were a few cd's on this list that I played dozens upon dozens of times. This was one of them."
A few other great comments about the album:
"Your shit is so good, I rank it right up there with Ministry, KMFDM, Skrew, 16 Volt. If anybody hasn't downloaded this yet then you better get it. You will be very happy you did. I've listened to it at least twice a day since it came out."
"I can not put in words the amount of amazement that as shocked me with your release. The music is just the kind of industrial metal that i love, the sound quality is absolutely pro, the images that came with each song are outstanding..."
HAZMAT is the solo project of Matt Collins, a founding member of "torture-tech" band Neuroplague who performed in and around New York in the late ninties, opening for bands like Rammstein, Hanzel und Gretyl, Android Lust, 16 Volt, Haloblack, and Terminal Sect. In the meantime, Matt has also worked as one half of the gothic, ethereal rock band Despirator and played guitar with Metropolis recording artist Porcupine Defense .
Hazmat is one part razor blade guitar, one part mechanical attack drums, and one part synthetic cyberpunk noise. Mix in a large vat of acid & bake at 1 million degrees for 6 seconds. Mmmm. Tasty.
