Annihilation Chic Era

// Heathen Harvest
"The lack of women making experimental music was appalling to me. Nobody was doing anything about it and this was pissing me off so I figured it was time to step up and change things. The idea is to encourage other females to make the music. It's already happening. "

"Some people have said I'm a punk female Combichrist and a lot of people have compared me to Pzychobitch, Angelspit, and even Lords of Acid. Yet again it's really hard to describe my music as anything except for Experiment Haywire."

"For every person who tries to run me off I work harder and harder. If so many people didn't have a problem with me I am sure I would have quit a long time ago. It's not like I'm supporting myself through any of this. I have a masochistic determination to get my ideas out there by any means necessary. Continuing to work in this industry doesn't make any logical sort of sense based on everything I've gone through. I don't know a single other person who wouldn't have quit if they were in my position. Yet I have an intense passion to turn my visions into a reality. If I'm not going to do this who will?'"

"I don't use sex appeal to sell my music and I don't use pre-settings that turn a song into a club hit. I don't kiss the asses of people who I despise and I stand my own despite this being counter-productive toward social points. I do my own thing to the point of being an outcast-among-outcasts."

Cooler Than Genocide Era

// Cyber Angels Magazine
"What was once a creation of sound collages mixed with spoken word rants became a full time dark electronic project. I'd like to reach everyone who is able to understand what I'm creating. I'd like Experiment Haywire to be the soundtrack to my generation. Well, at least certain parts of it."

// Re-Gen Magazine
"I started Experiment Haywire because nobody else would. If another pissed off chick wasn't up for creating harsh electronic sounds and screaming about the end of humanity, it was going to have to be me."

World War 23 Era

// Wounds of the Earth
"I hope for my music to move people who have been waiting for something like this. You can achieve a lot through the medium of music if you become popular... shit like public mind control... but I’d rather just reach the people who need to hear this."

Annihilation Chic

// Enochian Apocalypse
"Rachel Haywire conjures up a raw edged version of industrial electronic music that toys with slight punk anarchist overtones topped off with a vocal approach heading down the path of what I can best describe as 'riot grrrl'."

// Heathen Harvest
"I like how the album slowly disintegrates from straight up danceable numbers (”Mean Enough Hot Enough”) to noise (“Annihilation Day”). It gives a sense of decay. Everything is slowly falling apart and none of it is really worth saving. There is a feeling of hopelessness. Nothing is OK. Nothing is sacred, all is permitted. I like that!"

// Liar Society
"About a year ago I told you to keep an eye on Experiment Haywire. I wasn't kidding. Annihilation Chic builds on the strengths of Cooler Than Genocide and the results are a phenomenal crossbreed of old-school influenced EBM and dark electro."
// read more //

// Re-Gen Magazine
"A full-length debut of irreverent industrial punk that is far from groundbreaking, though it provides good fodder for the noise-ridden dance floor."
// read more //

// Side-Line Magazine
"Coming from a female artist, this album is really extreme in sound and has a chance to makes it way in the industrial realm!"

Cooler Than Genocide

// Alterati Magazine
"I’ll be honest, I was expecting noise, experimental soundscapes, avant-garde assault on pop music… I expected a dark industrial doom–but I didn’t expect it to be danceable, and as a result, so damn subversive. Then again Haywire is never what you’d expect."

// Gothtronic Magazine
"Her way of singing reminds of S.I.N.A., yet the music is quite variable and pretty original techno-industrial, with more or less influences and traces of Atari Teenage Riot, Hanin Elias, Babyland but also from industrial Neubauten style and of course modern dark techno acts."
// read more //

// Re-Gen Magazine
"Haywire's newest solo release sounds surprisingly controlled, owing more to the minimalist aesthetic of early techno and EBM than the crazed but uneven output of the original industrial scene."

World War 23

// Wounds of the Earth Magazine
"... any fan of noise music will be able to absolutely enjoy and understand this album; if you are not a fan of noise you should give Experiment Haywire a shot anyway and World War 23 might even be able to convert you."
