Luddite (EP)

Luddite is an EP by Grotus, released in 1992 by Spirit Music Industries.

Release and reception
In writing for AllMusic, critic Ned Raggett said, "finding its own way around industrial/rock fusions without simply recreating Ministry or Nine Inch Nails, the foursome explores grinding rhythms without an eye to either thrash metal or dancefloors, Lars Fox's roared vocals calling the tune (or lack thereof)." He awarded it three stars, concluding that "Luddite makes for a good slice of Grotus at its pre-major-label peak." Trouser Press noted that the music benefited by possessing a greater variance in composition structure and tighter focus in musicianship, helping to reinforce the band's message.
