Review by ReGen Magazine:

If you thought industrial music was dead, Glitch
Mode's new compilation is sure to quench your thirst
for some truly experimental and venomous music.
Glitch Mode Recordings are still a relatively new
outfit, conceived by the members of Cyanotic, but is
already gaining momentum to become one of the more
productive underground labels around. Not unlike
Cracknation or Positron! Records, Glitch Mode is as
much a community as it is a label, a microcosm of the
newer, more innovative and adventurous artists in the
industrial and electronic music scene. As the third
compilation released under the label, after DarkSonus
Vol.1 and the Modern Destruction digipak, Hordes of
the Elite is perhaps the finest collection of today's
hardest-hitting industrial acts they have yet
assembled.

After a brief intro of distorted drum & bass with
some robotic vocals, Cyanotic kick off the CD with
the glitch-laden mayhem of "Order Out of Chaos,"
presented here in an alternate mix that only ups the
ante of noise and volume from the album version.
Cyanotic also pays tribute to their coldwave mentors
in fine form, remixing 16 Volt's "American Porn
Song," yet another taste of what is to come on 16
Volt's impending new album, FullBlackHabit. Drukore's
remix of Sindaddy's "Panties" comes in next, keeping
listeners in the midst of the maelstrom with pounding
distortion and scattered breaks of drum & bass and
high-frequency synthesizer noise. Slowing down the
pace ever so slightly are Carbon12's epic
"Worthless," which trudges along in cinematic
fashion, and Adipocere's "Mechanical Asphyxia," a
track characterized by skipping samples and dark
ambient textures. Other tracks, like GenCAB's "Perish
the Thought," Bound in Oblivion's "The Other Side,"
and Empty's "Castrated," kick into high gear
danceable electro with pulsating synthesizers and
dark melodies.

Suffice to say, there's something for every type of
rivethead on Hordes of the Elite, from the brutal
industrial assault of Manufraqture's "FriQtion" or
Skullduggery's "Violent Reaction" to the frenetic
experimental drum & bass of Left Spine Down's "Hang
Up" and Darque Science's "Obsoletist." There's even a
slight bit of hip-hop to be found in Encounter Box's
"Ammunation," or even the mock-classical whimsy of
Rabbit Junk's "Industrial is Dead," making for a
well-rounded and truly forward-thinking compilation.
For all those people who feel that the true spirit of
industrial music is dead and that there is no
exploration or progress in the sound, Hordes of the
Elite will prove them wrong, providing a virulent
assortment of today's best and brightest. Beware of
the Glitch Mode Squad, for as the intro track so
accurately and shamelessly states, "This shit will
fuck you up!"
