New Society
[title unknown]
Reviewed by Andrew Crump
It's everywhere! Industrial music is coming out of the woodworks with its angry aggression and thick dance grooves. New Society won't disappoint the listener who enjoys such bands as Nine Inch Nails, Mortal and Under Midnight. The demo has a distinct attitude that pushes the message of truth right in your face.
Some highlights on the demo are the songs "Whiplash" (which has Roger Martinez's screams from the Vengeance Rising song "Beheaded" smashed into the mix) and "No Party In Hell" (which has sort of a U2 meets Ministry vibe to it). Another cool track is "Staring at the Sea" which sports a slow alternative groove coupled with smooth vocals.
The band seems to have a bone to pick with evangelists who use the name of the Lord to fill their pockets. The disgust with these kinds of false prophets is evident throughout the entire demo.
There are 17 tunes on this demo -- a little something for everyone. This is a positive outing for a band that looks to be sticking around for a bit.
