      It took me longer than it should to realize how that voice-changer fooled me. I really thought Daniel switched the Singer. I love his unique "normal" voice, but i also loved that scratchy aggresive shouting voice and I hope he will once in a while tune that voice for a Song again ;-)

      @@sgefrascz8123 There isn't a lot of distortion or FX on these vocals on this album. They're just layered with a bunch of compression. The reason I sound different now is because what I was doing then was not done properly or with any kind of technique and I was trashing my voice. In 2011 I started taking singing seriously and visiting vocal coaches in order to learn how to sing and scream properly. It's been a long road but I'm glad I took it. If I hadn't I would have ruined my vocal cords and ended my career very quickly.

      Musically there is nothing Goth about this.
      Industrial and Goth has been intertwined to be seen as the same (my opinion),
      Industrial- Skinny Puppy
      Goth- Christian Death
      Examples of what those were musically.

    Daniel has a gift, to be able to exude the "perfect look" to, just wanting to smash the World into pieces. Aesthetic Perfection is so underrated, that, it pisses me off, he doesn't get the recognition he deserves. This should be required listening for every angry teenager, going through those years of angst and frustration, when they think, nobody understands you or your perspective.
    As a Psychiatrist, specializing in "At Risk' and "Self-destructive" youth. I've used music therapy, so teens have a visual-auditory reference, to explain their pain. Aesthetic Perfection is among the most popular singers, they pick out... !!! I wonder why? Except, I get horrible looks from parents, who have to listen to Daniel screaming and yelling, while in their bedrooms. But, there is nothing any worse than having to burring a child, from suicide; especially, when all they needed was an outlet.
    "The Great Depression" remains one of my, "all time" favorite songs; no matter my age.

Nirvana was big at the time, but then I was introduced to EBM/Industrial and it was the perfect release for me on the dancefloor, or, the living room at home. I released the anxiety and frustration and started to study Psychology. I tell people who freak-out over the music:

      Music is a wonderful release, so my wife and I are both Psychiatrist's, so even we stress out over time or simply have a bad day from stories and feeling that's are projected onto us both. We converted the garage into a mini-club, so we can set everything to a dark mode and dance until we both are so sweaty and tired, that we both just get all of it out of us.

      I was once an at risk teenager and way back AP was my blood. I had the stickers on my black notebooks, full of the stuff my parents hated but didn’t understand. I introduced him to what few friends I had and some even still listen to him today.
      My tastes have changed somewhat, leaning more into stuff like Pure Obsessions and Red Nights, but I still follow Daniel’s work and still wear my Necessary Response shirt.
      I know this comment is 11 years ago, but 11 years ago I was 14 and exactly the kid you’ve described here. I was just recently adopted at this time by parents who didn’t think my previous trauma was real (the state had such little information about the case). Naturally, that makes an angsty kid. This stuff was my Bible and it got me through so much.

I saw Daniel Graves performing several years ago as Necessary Response in Garden Grove, CA. I have not had the opportunity to see AP live yet, but I will definitely try to make it out when they're at Das Bunker in LA sometime.

      ​@@ClosetoHumanMusic This is what I've always admired about what you've created in AP. Its evolution through time is a direct representation of what so many people go through in their own evolution throughout their lives. We all have certain things that move and drive us. And those things change, sometimes dramatically, throughout our lives as we either aspire and work to better ourselves or to rot in our own decay (sometimes those are one in the same). This, I believe, is the beauty of what AP has to offer. It is a mirror into our own lives. It reminds us to look inward to sit and ponder who we really are and what we truly believe. That's true power.
