Reaching out to conventional and alternative media

Engines of Necessity's debut album has been out for a few months and do to a lack of time/effort on my part I have not had the time to properly market it to music critics and fans alike. It is my hopes that with this open call I might entice the curiousity of a media outlet, regardless of size/scope, and might further entice such an entity to conduct a review or interview. If this is appealing to the music critic, blogger or random person with a webpage, please e-mail press@enginesofnecessity.com to arrange receipt of a high quality copy of the first album and address any questions you may have.
Thank you for your curiosity,
Jake Bormann

Paul Van de gehuchte of Belgium's online music magazine, Dark Entries, reviewed the album (Available in Dutch here) and dished a healthy dose of praise and punishment, giving the album an overall rating of 7/10 stars.

With Paul's permission, and a little help from internet juju a few excerpts (translated):
"...explores the boundaries of the industrial genre..."
"[immerses] you in a certain sinister and cold atmosphere."
"...draws from his memories, his own vicissitudes and feelings."
"A start which hopefully has a sequel, because EoN has a bit more to offer than the average industrial band."
