As the dark days of Christmas draw ever closer and the beginning of a new year becomes imminent, Symp.tom decided it wanted to end 2008 with a bang. So without further ado Symp.tom presents Volume 4 of the well-known Symp.toms series: Life Below 20Hz. Where the previous 2 editions were filled with some of the hardest live sets from the “industrial” area of A Nightmare Outdoor, this time we return to the concept of the first chapter of the series... only this time, everything goes on overdrive!

Putting the total at 52 tracks on 2 discs, Symp.tom's own residents Mental Wreckage and The Relic each crafted a mix out of a carefully selected collection of the darkest and filthiest "industrial" orientated hardcore tracks. Of course lots of material from the Symp.tom label itself (including new tracks by Mute., Dual Mechanism & The Relic) as well as (some new and exclusive) quality tracks from the likes of The Outside Agency, Ophidian, Moleculez, Broken Rules, Razor Edge and many... many more.

The result is 2 smashing discs both containing an uncompromised sonic assault filled with crushing kickdrums, wicked breaks, pitch dark atmospheres and a lot of distortion. The ideal soundtrack for the dark days of the winter.
