Riverside, California, situated on the desert's edge, is one of the least habitable places on the fringe of the Los Angeles megalopolis. Perhaps it is appropriate that such a place should have given rise to a number of industrial bands, including Penal Colony, Hate Dept., and Interzone. It is also where Ryan Gribbin and Roger Jarvis picked up their keyboards and their keen sense of social consciousness and created Kevorkian Death Cycle.
