    Biopsy is the side project of Guilherme Pires and Fabricio Viscardi of Aghast View. "Third Stroke" is the Brazilian duo’s third outing as Biopsy. The first two, "Nervate" and "Cervix State Sequences" are also available on DSBP.
    "Leech" instantly launches into the contagious techno beats that flavor the best tracks on the CD. Fabricio’s distorted vocals enhance the onslaught of metal guitars and riotous beats found on "Why Bother." "Body Wire," which is remixed twice here, is probably the most addictive track with its unstoppable beats, droning, pulsing loops, and sampled declaration "I want to dance!"
    Another high point is "Peel The Core." It’s urgent primal beats are overlain with machine gun guitar riffs and fuzzy, manipulated vocals and loops.
    "Third Stroke" is electronic industrial at it’s highest peak, combining the best of the dance floor with the finest grinding guitar and disinterred vocal entreaties. With "Third Stroke," Biopsy balances the razor-sharp cutting edge aggressiveness that their name suggests, with an alluring addictive slice of club candy.
