TeknoWhore is a studio album by the American industrial metal band Bile, released in 1996.[5] The album was released on the now defunct Energy Records and had not been reproduced since the company's fold in 2000. After being out of print for three years, Bile decided to re-release the album alongside their out-of-print first release, Suckpump, as a digipak titled Frankenhole in 2003. TeknoWhore was written and recorded by Krztoff, produced by Krztoff and Slave, mixed by Slave, and engineered by Steve Spaperri and Patrick Gordon.

Critical reception

[edit]

The Washington Post wrote that "the band's world view is as contrived and perverse as its style, which alternates slamming synthbeats with aimless interludes of burbling music and ironic samples from old movies and documentaries."[5]
