Born in Blood is a studio album by American noise rock and Industrial music band Pain Teens, released in 1990.[4] It was their first album for the Trance Syndicate label.[5]

Reception

[edit]

Kathleen C. Fennessy of AllMusic wrote that "the Teens have a firm grasp on song structure and Bliss Blood's vocals are always pleasing."[2] The Chicago Reader wrote that when the band "fired on all cylinders—combining filthy guitar fuzz, junkyard industrial beats, sinister psychedelic fuckery, and icy, sneering vocals—they transcended their adolescent fixation on depravity and evil."[6]
