More of Less marks the explosive return of 16Volt, the pioneering industrial rock outfit helmed by Eric Powell, after a seven-year hiatus. Released by Metropolis Records, this long-awaited full-length album reasserts 16Volt's place at the forefront of genre-defying heaviness, welding the raw aggression of early industrial metal with sleek, modern production.

The album's lead single 'White Noise' sets the tone with grinding guitars and a defiant vocal performance about invisibility and disconnection--'you become just white noise,' Powell explains, 'that static sound of nothingness.' More of Less channels that angst through precision-engineered riffs, surgical synths, and relentless percussion, echoing the tension and decay of a world in collapse.

This release follows the sold-out vinyl debut of 1993's Wisdom and the 2024 archival compilation NegativeOnArrivals. But More of Less is no retrospective--it's a forward-thrusting beast, born of Powell's sharpened songwriting and vision honed over decades, bolstered by past collaborations with genre luminaries like David Ogilvie, Paul Raven, and Chris Vrenna.

Pressed on high-grade vinyl, the LP captures the band's signature sound--equal parts industrial abrasion and melodic ruin--offering longtime fans and new listeners a fierce, uncompromising listening experience.
