www.pitchshifter.com is the fourth album by the British
industrial metal band
Pitchshifter. It was released in the United Kingdom by Geffen Records on 2 March 1998, and in the United States by DGC Records on 7 April 1998.[11] The record, which was their first released through a
major label, sold just over 60,000 copies in the US alone—selling nearly twice as much as the group's proceeding album Deviant did (which sold 33,000 copies).
The album's name comes from the band's
domain name–a relative novelty at the time of the release. The domain name registration was eventually lapsed; JS Clayden said "we carried the website for such a long time that it felt like a burden being lifted to let it go".[12]
In 2005, Rock Hard placed www.pitchsifter.com at number 263 on their list of the "500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time".[13] Also in 2005, Kerrang! ranked the album as the 45th greatest British rock album of all time.[14] In 2016, Metal Hammer named it the 10th best industrial metal album.[1]
