User Assumes Risk (or [user assumes risk]) is a one-man Pensacola Florida based aggrotech project that draws influence from industrial acts such as Mentallo and The Fixer, Clock Dva, Throbbing Gristle and Coil. Their sound is a blend of drum and bass, industrial, found samples and a healthy amount of technology. It is one of the few active industrial and aggrotech projects to recently emerge from the Pensacola scene, although the project itself has been around for over five years.

Their avant-garde stage show is described as a type of morbid eroticism that often involves the use of light and shadows, and is performed by a group of supporting actresses in costume and makeup referred to as the daughters of fodder. Previous shows have included the use of shadow boxes and cage-like contraptions which are often contructed by the artist himself.[1]

The band often plays shows at the Handlebar and has made an appearance at Sluggos.
