The Depopulation Bomb is the debut studio album of Black Lung, released in 1994 by Iridium Records.[1][2][3] The album was re-released on August 15, 1995 by Fifth Colvmn Records with an additional coda titled "Horselover Fat".[4][5][6][7]

Reception

[edit]

Sonic Boom said "this time Black Lung moves away from sound experimentation of dreams towards more of techno ambient style of instrumentation" and "don't construe that to mean that it is just another rave album, but simply that the programming has become more beat oriented with a great deal of focus on rhythms and melodies rather than soundscapes of the past.[8]
