    Wait a minute--didn't I review this last issue? Yes, but the final version differs enough from the original demo that I thought I'd update things a bit. A couple songs have been dropped, a couple added, a couple spruced up. The end product is more cohesive, more focussed. With the changes, Tempestuous All shuffles itself closer to a single genre--industrial metal--yet retains its originality of style. The two new tracks are quite aggressive and very good--"Thou Shalt Not Lie" is one of the coolest heavy industrial tracks I've heard in a long time. Very addictive stuff, well worth getting (still).
