Killing songs: Ground Zero
At least here comes a band that doesn't follow any trend. A mixture
of heavy and neo metal (somehow RATM meets old Rage). The production
is crystal clear : what a sound ! James Santiago has an excellent
voice which goes perfectly to this "chaos". You will need
many "plays" to really appreciate this metal style. From
heavy double bass, through atmospheric Paradise Lost breaks, 40 Grit
doesn't follow the usual path (riff, bridge & chorus). Thashy
and atmospheric !
I have discovered many sound on this Heads (may be too much
to digest them) and I can say 40 Grit mixes lots of different
atmospheres (neo, heavy, trash metal ... the American way). If you
are into this kind of music I suggest you check it out. You might
be surprise by what you're going to hear.
