Here's
a CD that's accurately described in the promotional literature as
being "heavy rock with an industrial edge" - From
the first bars of the intro track "Hoping" there are instant
comparisons to bands such as early Nine Inch Nails & Ministry
but the solid back bone of hard rock isn't masked with the latter's
preference for huge levels of industrial sampling, white noise &
distortion - I Like it! The harder edges of the album are tempered
with the slightly more melodic sounds of the likes of "5th
Signal" giving a good balance to the overall playlist. Pamela
Hammond's powerful vocals haunt the tracks wraith-like and at times
sound akin to a female version of Warrior Soul's Kory Clarke on
the album "Drugs, God & The New Republic" - another
personal favourite... If you like industrial rock which is unadultarated
by volumes of sampled noise or are simply looking for an introduction
to the genre, then this CD is for you!
