Shunt
are an electro industrial band that create very energetic music with
sampled guitar for a heavier edge. But the music is also very electronic
with high speed programming and drum beats. There are good synth melodies
as well to give the music more of a melodic feel. Each song presents
good rhythms and beats that would work well on the dance floor. The
vocals are a little high pitched for my tastes, even when they are distorted.
But they're not too bad for the most part. They do blend well with the
music. They're just not as deep and brutal as I usually prefer for this
style of music. There are songs here that are straight forward and energetic
designed to be played in clubs, as well as songs that are more melody
driven with a slight synth-pop edge. This gives the CD a good helping
of variety. There's one instrumental here that is out of place. It would
have probably worked if it was used as an intro or ending track, but
it's kind of just thrown in the middle where it just doesn't seem to
fit. While this CD is good, it does also show that the band has room
to grow and mature. They're just not quite at the level of a lot of
other electro industrial acts out there. But I expect great things from
them in the future. For now, this CD is worth checking out if you like
electro industrial music with a little guitar added in as well.
