about

Proton Beast are a three headed digital fiend who unleashed their full length wrath upon the world perhaps a few years before the world was ready....

Digitizer is an alternative rock (nee: disco doom) album that placed them as contenders as New Zealand's king of the monsters. Having drawn into their ranks former D4 guitarist Vaughan Williams, Westley Holdsworth (guitar, vocals) and Stuart Harwood (drums) turned what was initially a four track EP into an eight track juggernaut demonstrating their evolution from 2012's single The Verse.

In their history, the band had the honour to support the likes of Boris (Japan), DZ Deathrays (Australia) and Beastwars (New Zealand), impressing new audiences on a much larger scale, as the band moved away from their former post-hardcore sound, ushering in a sound the band describe as disco doom.

Songs Tetris, Data and single Vis Viva have already showcased Holdsworth's running theme of technology throughout the album, and the shift of vocal performance adds to that theme; by using the vocoder and taking away any human element the vocals it becomes another sonic texture rather than a mere human telling a story.
