"Thirwell ,AKA Clint Ruin, had for many years on his FOETUS related projects projected a wild enthusiasm for music and lyrics. The development of his unique sound made an incredible peak on "NAIL" and I feel this WISEBLOOD release with Mossiman from SWANS takes that sound to the next level- something I thought not possible. Mossiman really brings a great influence to this CD. These two really made some great music together. If you like FOETUS and you have not heard this, I strongly recommend you check it out!"
FUNNY AS HELL

"This is one of feotus's best. Unique funky slammin goofy sick and dark. It's really too bad feotus never got with the hip hop program, he really could have schooled some heads.Modern goth gets it all wrong. Any fan of rob zombie hellbilly delux should check this cd out and see what the real thing sounds like. if you like this cd, check out bug tapping the conversation for the some new school stumbo.The other wiseblood isn't as good but it's got one track thats so slammin that its worth 10 or 15 bucks just to own it. for real."
Dark, profane, loud - makes Tool sound cheerful

"Jim Thirlwell (Foetus) and Rolli Mossilman (from Swans - forgive my spelling) stomp through songs apparently composed of and by pure id. Guaranteed to send blow-dried metal-d00d harlequins back to their mothers. "Death Rape 2000" is three chords I never want to hear through a hangover again."
Not your everyday Foetus

"I don't consider Wiseblood another Foetus project. Roli Mossiman (Swans) and Jim Thirlwell (Foetus) created a beast straight out of the swamps. Industrial beats with hot licks, power chords, and vocals that owe much to lounge and heroin slack.This also has the Stumbo 12" and Motorslug 12" mixes tacked on. Indespensible if you like Industrial before Ministry's Land of Rape and Honey."
Internal paradoxl anger

"Stumbo is the cornerstone to the industrial movement, it captures the complexity, anger humor and intorspective analysis of its day. It defines a neuronal synaptic impulse of intense magnitude and must, most definatly must be played very very loud! I recomend listening to the entire CD with a friend in an old Dodge Dart at 3am."
