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.[1] 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).[2]
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".[3]
Multiple songs from www.pitchshifter.com were included on the vehicular-based PlayStation games Twisted Metal 3 and Test Drive 5.
In 2005, Rock Hard placed www.pitchshifter.com at number 263 on their list of the "500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time".[4] Also in 2005, Kerrang! ranked the album as the 45th greatest British rock album of all time.[5] In 2016, Metal Hammer named it the 10th best industrial metal album.[6]
