Cost: $2.00
Picked this up off of a distro's cheapo list. I had pretty low expectations for this going in and was still kind of disappointed. Metal-archives listed them as "industrial death metal," so I was prepared for some sort of industrial element to the music. Looking back, I do think I was being overly optimistic, hoping this would be like old Hellchild or Transgressor, just with a drum machine. Even some mix of industrial and death metal might have been okay.
I can't really say there's any death metal here, though. It's certainly industrial influenced metal, and the guitars are quite heavy, but I don't really see any coherent death metal element to the music. In fact, what the first song brought to mind musically was Chaos A.D.-era Sepultura, not any DM. As should be expected, the programmed drums are the primary focus of the music and are what provide the music's industrial feel. Most of the vocals are mechanically distorted and range from heavily Japanese accented spoken vox to unintelligible vocal hysterics to shrieking.
