Kaiten is a Swedish industrial project consisting of Erik Jarl from IRM and Lirim Cajani of INSTITUT (another Cold Meat Industry act), who came to the States to perform on my dime at the first APEX FEST in June 2005, along with Martin Bladh. The name of the project originates with a World War II-era mini-submarine, which was a sort of manned torpedo that served as the nautical equivalent of "Kamikaze" planes. The Kaiten pilots would intentionally maneouvre their craft into the hulls of enemy ships in an effort to sink them. Awful.
The layout is by intention, extremely simplistic, but evocative of the subject matter called to mind by the project's name and album's title.
In keeping with the visual minimalism of the release, the discface image is simply the black logo on the raw silver of the CD.
