Metal Reviews

So, I realise these guys are 'known'. I'm not purporting to have 'discovered' them or anything like that.

I just want to know what people think of them. In terms of modern crossover, I think they're just as vital as Municipal Waste. Their self-titled debut (SSS) is just all kinds of kick ass.

I really like the vocalist's delivery. Very crossover, but with an english punk sensibility which for some reason I feel adds authenticity. And I think that overall they're a little thrashier than the Waste. (not to say 'better').

Plus, I think it's a very concise band name for a crossover act. hehe.

So, what's the consensus? Anyone dig these guys?

These have turned out well, but I saw them opening for Exodus a few years back and I just have to say that I never believed they would go anywhere, they sucked massive cock.

I've never seen them live, so i can't comment, but the album is damned good.

Since I already know you're a municipal waste fan I have no hesitation recommending it to you.

Yeah man I think they're cool and I like the fact that apart from Carcass these are the only metal band I can think to have come out of Liverpool. But honestly I'm 100% sure they'll have improved from when I saw em, it was aaaages ago and it was shite.

They're ok. Nothing too special. Saw them opening for Municipal Waste and in my opinion the gulf in quality was clear.

Well i've not seen them live, but from their albums, i'd say the gulf is not so large.

I'd say Hazardous Mutation is a better album than SSS by a good long way, definitely.

On the other hand, I think SSS is just as good as Art of Partying. In fact, I'd be hard pressed to choose my favourite from those two albums.
