"DAMAGED is Razed In Black's latest offering. This double CD package includes a special bonus disc with 8 remixes and 2 enhanced CDR videos of live performances. Damaged is simply one of the most intelligent hybrids of trance techno programming, darkwave songwriting and brutally aggressive guitar riffs. Think Paul Oakenfold meets NIN meets Ministry. This new album brings the two strands, techno and industrial, and threads them together with expertise and finesse to create one of the most densely-layered, seductively dark yet wholly invigorating albums to come along in quite some time." ~ All Music Guide.
This 2 CD album features appearances by Inertia, Gosumi, Spahn Ranch, Soil & Eclipse, MissGuided, and Vicci Neptune. Also includes remixes by: Assemblage 23, Eve Of Destiny (Japan), SonicState, Soil & Eclipse, Neikka RPM, as well as enhanced videos filmed live at The Key Club (Hollywood) and a collage of 50 shows in 50 states of "Overflow"!

RinB rules the American industrial scene by far~ Not owning your own copy of this album in your collection would be blasphemy to the electronic scene. Invest!_~ Séba Dolimont SIDELINE MAGAZINE
It finds its apogee of expression in the twisting and building melodies and crescendos of Share this poison, but elsewhere on Damaged the concoction of frenetic beats and swirling melody is just as lethal in effect. An exceptional album. ~ Alex Whitehead UK ROCKSOUND MAGAZINE
