Divide by Zero (album)

Divide by Zero is the second studio album by Killing Floor, released on September 23, 1997 by Re-Constriction Records.

Reception
AllMusic gave Divide by Zero a mixed to negative marker of two and a half out of five stars. Aiding & Abetting gave the album a positive review, saying "Killing Floor uses everything to its advantage: riffage, throbbing rhythms, shouted vocals and a wonderful touch in the studio." and "seamless sound is good, as before, and the songs are able to merge the lyric and musical ideas much better than on the debut." Larry Miles of Black Monday called the album typical of the industrial genre, "aggressive, guitar driven and apocalyptic", while highlighting the band for "mixing an aggressive message with bone crushing punk tendencies." Fabryka Music Magazine gave the album four out of four and praised the mysterious cold wave atmosphere in compositions such as "Unity" as being the highlight of the album. Sonic Boom praised the band for their production quality and artistic growth, saying "ultimately fans of previous Killing Floor material will definitely enjoy this album while the musical diversity will cater to a much wider audience than before."
