Penal Colony

about

7 years… That’s how long it’s been since Penal Colony’s seminal Cleopatra release, “5 MAN JOB”. In that time, many of Penal Colony’s contemporaries have released new records and toured in support of those records several times over. Entirely new flavors of electronica have come and gone. A different president was in office when “5 MAN JOB” came out. All of this begs the question: What happened? “That would take more space to explain than the audience for this document would probably care to endure,” quips D Madden, sole surviving member of Penal Colony. “A small part of the Reader’s Digest version would be that I suffered a number of health problems, both mental and physical; financial problems, you name it. It took some time to dig my way out of those holes, some of them I’m still working on. Further, I had become disillusioned with the Industrial scene and all of it’s subgenres. For awhile there, things just seemed to be stagnating. As a result, I had all but given up on the idea of making another Penal Colony record. It wasn’t until I heard the Cyberage radio show, and some of the other industrial radio shows on the web, that I got excited about it again.” And so, with consent from the good graces of fellow founding members Chris Shinkus (Bass) and Jason Hubbard (Drums, Samples, Percussion), Madden forged ahead on his own, and began work on a new collection of songs in early 2001. The fruits of his labor can be heard in the new Penal Colony LP, “UNFINISHED BUSINESS.” Sch
