Killing songs: 203 Barriers, Crime
If you think U2 is a wonderful band that has unfortunately chosen the commercial wave and if you appreciate bands like Paradise Lost or Type 0 Negative, Kill The Thrill is for you. Marrying two opposites styles (new wave & metal), cold as a machine, post rock and in the same time adding industrial elements, Kill The Thrill should attack gothic and atmospheric metal fans. Being may be a little bit repetitive from song to song, this 203 Barriers has however awakened my Paradise Lost feelings, but also reminds somehow the last Tool (the talent of Tool being hundred time bigger, but we are talking of Tool guys). Atmospheric, heavy, deep and somehow innovative. We will carefully watch out your next effort guys. 203 Barriers ? No, in fact I see just one barrier here : Are you enough open mind to listen to metal, new wave, indus and post rock all under the same banner ? You know it better than me ...
