Slow Motion Riot
Slow Motion Riot is the third album by American hardcore punk band, 98 Mute. It was released on Epitaph Records on June 6, 2000. It followed their 1998 album, "Class Of 98", and in 2002, "After the Fall" marked their swansong as they split up shortly afterwards.
Overview.
The band's musical development saw them slow down and lengthen their songs considerably. The guitars are heavier and have a more downtuned tone. The lyrics have been variously described as
shot on location late at night, using rain effects and a prop phone box. The lobby scenes were shot at 77 Park Avenue.
The courthouse interior scenes were shot at Queens County Courthouse, at night. Courthouse exteriors were at the Mario Merola Building / Bronx County Courthouse. The subway entrance was fake — there is no subway station there. Another courthouse scene showing a riot in slow-motion had been shot at the Essex County Courthouse in Newark but was omitted from the film following negative reaction from test screenings.
