Opiate for the Masses - Manifesto (2008)

Cost: $1.00
This CD is available for trade.

Picked this up solely because it was on Century Media.  I know, I know, nowadays that's hardly an indicator of quality.  I have only myself to blame.  But I saw the chick in the band pic and figured some sort of gothic/power metal mix at best, alternative stuff like later Lacuna Coil/The Gathering at worst.

Very unexpectedly, it's mostly in the vein of '90s mainstream industrial rock--think Stabbing Westward, Nine Inch Nails, Filter, etc.  Also has a bit of an Alice in Chains vibe to it at times, though obviously with more electronic and industrial elements.  Nothing here to interest me, so the best I can say is that the opening track and the cover of Portishead's "Wandering Star" have catchy choruses.
