-From: BloodLetter! Issue 4 4 August 97

"Surgical Stainless Steel is an offshoot of
Intrinsic Action. On the debut Intrinsic
Action CD, "Sado-Electronics," the final
20+ minute segment was the first time
SSS made itself known. Popping up
again briefly on the "Private Thoughts"
compilation (AWB), only a brief live
incarnation, complete with a notorious
though somewhat embarrassing
"Santeria" influenced bloodletting
session (Industry, Chicago 11/92) held
over the project until now. Self Abuse
Records has been kind enough to
include a submission by Surgical
Stainless Steel in their ongoing Murder
7" series. Our subject is the grossly
underrated Gerald Eugene Stano, and
the 7" includes three tracks: "Woman
Hater", "Unnecessary Ferocity", and a
special cover version of a classic bit
of Italian/Pacific Northwest power-
electronics."
