Peace Minus One is a studio album by the industrial metal band Rorschach Test, released in 2000. [4] [5]
The album was produced by Neil Kernon. [6]
CMJ New Music Report wrote: "One part raw metal and one part industrial, the digitized Peace Minus One is sharper than a bag full of razor blades." [1] The Columbus Dispatch called singer James Baker "unfailingly guttural," and dismissed the album as "a new collection of disenchantment." [7] The Seattle Times called the album "brutal, raw, savage—yet also oddly 'sensitive,' albeit in a hard-boiled way," writing that "Baker's creepy voice is perfect for growling scary prophecies over guest musician Jeff Loomis' speed-metal guitar." [8]
All tracks composed by James Baker and Kerr unless noted.

Electronic body music (EBM) is a genre of electronic music that combines elements of industrial music and synth-punk with elements of dance music. It developed in the early 1980s in Western Europe, as an outgrowth of both the punk and the industrial music cultures. It combines sequenced repetitive basslines, programmed dance music rhythms, and mostly undistorted vocals and command-like shouts with confrontational or provocative themes.
Funk metal is a subgenre of funk rock and alternative metal that infuses heavy metal music with elements of funk and punk rock. Funk metal was part of the alternative metal movement, and has been described as a "brief but extremely media-hyped stylistic fad".
