UMUR
"This Will Hurt Someone" is an EP release by US industrial metal act Dead World. The EP was released through Release Entertainment in April 1994. It bridges the gab between Dead World´s second- and third full-length studio albums "The Machine" (1993) and "Thanatos Descends" (1996).

"This Will Hurt Someone" is a 4 tracks, 21:19 minutes long EP, and the title track which opens the EP is quite different from anything Dead World have released before. It´s an uptempo electronic industrial music track and there are no heavy distorted guitars and bass on this track. The only vocals on the track are movie samples. It´s maybe a little repetitive, but otherwise it´s a pretty effectful and interesting track. "Paroxysmal Euphoria" is a dark, noise/drone type track, which is a pretty raw and gloomy listen (featuring some beastly/demonic movie samples).

Next up is an edited version of the title track from the preceding album ("The Machine"), and Dead World actually made a promotional video for this version of the track (the original 8 minutes long version probably wasn´t the best pick for a promotional video). It completely changes the mood and direction of the EP, as it´s a heavy, doomy, and distorted guitars/bass loaded track. The closing track titled "Dead World" is pretty surely a take-out from the recording sessions for "The Machine", as it features a similar sound production and writing style as the material on that release. It´s a decent quality track and it could easily have been included on the full-length studio album.

"This Will Hurt Someone" is upon conclusion an interesting EP release from Dead World, and it looks into the future and the electronic music projects of Jonathan Canady (who at this point was the only member of Dead World). Canady would have one more metal oriented release in him though before he would lay Dead Word to rest and concentrate his efforts on electronic music. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
