Details:
I've never been a huge fan of Black Sabbath, mostly because I don't like Ozzy's voice. Now drop Ozzy, take the
bassist, add Burton Bell of Fear Factory on vocals and some other guys and now you're talking. Don't expect Fear
Factory either, because it's not electronically enhanced at all. This is basic metal that stays heavy while
just bordering on rough.
I first heard 'The Invisible' on the Mortal Soundtrack a few years ago. So I thought to my self "Self, this must
be what metal is". I also noticed after listening to this and the Fear Factory song afterwards that the vocals
sounded familar, but of course that's because it's the same person. You get about an equal amount of yelling and
actual singing that you'd get on something like Demanufacture or similar. The instrumentals just pound away
to create the deepest sound possible, but you won't get the 10000 beats per second that Fear Factory gives you.
It's simple, but it works.
Bottom Line: Fear Factory and general metal fans should like it. It's hard and heavy and you'll probably
break something.
