Right
away from hearing the first song "Ganglords" you know that this band
is unique. It's as if death metal and techno collided. There are heavy
thrashing guitars, harsh drum assaults, and raw throated deep voiced
screaming mad vocals mixed with techno dance rhythms and high pitched
whiney vocals. Every song sounds different from one another. But they
each are extremely creative, original, and catchy. Mixing both metal
and techno into one hybrid sound is a very original approach, and this
band pulls it off pretty damn good. Some songs lean more toward techno
influences while others tend to lean more toward metal influences. But
they share both influences equally for the most part. My main complaint
is that most of the songs are just too short. They seem to end before
they should. With music as creative as this, you would expect each song
to be at least six minuteslong. But unfortunately they only reach about
three minutes each. But while they last they are extremely energetic
and catchy, and just make you want to get up and move. Some of these
songs would be excellent for the dance floor, while others would be
great for the mosh pit. I love this combination, and it really makes
this band stand out. My favorite songs are "Ganglords", "River", "Suffer",
"Warning", "Nude", "Try The Way To Move", "View (What's This Life)",
and "4 Steps Ahead". These eight songs especially stand out. But the
entire album is great. It might not be for everyone, but for people
looking for an incredibly original guitar based industrial album, this
is it.
