Choke Chain, the Milwaukee based solo project of Mark Trueman, is in every way a display of anguish. Taking influence from Goth, Industrial and Punk in equal measure, Trueman creates an atmosphere fraught with angst, confronting the harsh realities of existence in a completely uncompromising fashion. MORTALITY, his first full-length effort out this September, is dripping with anxiety and tension, an absolutely visceral reaction to the world he lives in.
