Having ceased doing relatively calmer solo projects for Mille Plateaux, on The Destroyer Empire created work that seemed far more likely to come from the Atari Teenage Riot mastermind. Everything mostly missing from the various Mille Plateaux releases turns up here in spades: blasting, nuclear-strength, high-speed hip-hop loops; in-your-face, belligerent samples; and conversational snippets - the works. As with Atari Teenage Riot, Empire's sheer humorlessness becomes terribly funny upon reflection.
