In 2004 Venom's ex-axeman Mantas recruited his friend Tony Dolan on bass -who had replaced Cronos in Venom for several years- and several other musicians among which there also was a talented gorgeous black 18 year-old female drummer. The record, released by Demolition, a young small label, went almost unnoticed unfortunately because if not ground-breaking, it's a very good abum per se.You may read on some websites it is a cross between Slipknot and Sepultura, but luckily it is not. It's highly industrialiazed death metal. Triggered drums, a lot of gun-blasting sampling, a processed, somewhat filtered guitar sound reminiscent of Ministry but with Mantas'recognizable trademark sound now a lot crunchier but sadly not all the time as prominent in the mix as I'd expected, a REALLY fat bass and programmed percussion groove almost present all the time and an excellent, total death metal gruffy vox low in the mix.Production is excellent and well balanced; I wished they'd achieved something with this record and advise you to get it if you like crossover metal.
