    Ignite The Machine was released in 2002. The album contains ten bold and groovy metal songs, a semi-ballad (In You I Believe), and a short intermezzo. Compared to the band's debut, Junker Jörg sounds more like a nu metal band like Limp Bizkit, but then more metal oriented. Often there are raw vocals or rap-like vocals in the verses, and clean vocals in the choruses. It's hard for me to give a good review of this release. With this kind of music the feeling overwhelms me that when I've heard one song, I've heard them all. So, the best thing is to go to the stores and listen to the CD. Best songs to pick are probably Storm and Crutch. Overall, the production is better than the debut album.

Here's your Christian version of Godsmack or Drowning Pool. Vocalist Shane Sowers sings and screams, like in the tune "The Problem With Pain."
