With his innovative approach to music and artistry, Mark Stewart left an indelible mark on the industry. His contributions will continue to inspire generations of musicians and fans alike.

Metatron has a much warmer, more immediate feel,than previous efforts and the band really gets a chance to explode. The sparing and effective use of electronics leaves plenty of room for crunching guitar cascades atop a megabeat rhythm section. Stewart's lyrical visions have shifted from revolutionary politics to paranoia about late- 20th-century life: These Things Happen is his response to a bloodthirsty human time bomb...an accident waiting to happen. The CD adds an instrumental version of the opening "Hysteria," which sounds an awful lot like Black Sabbath's "Iron Man."
