Subsonic
leader Ron Marks, former Celtic Frost lead guitarist and composer,
steers this band to a familiar but unique sound. The best description
of Subsonic is a cross between Godflesh and thrashy version of Nine
Inch Nails. The thrash elements are probably the most noticeable trait
with the heavy pounding riffs. A couple ballads help make this a well-rounded
album. The one thing that could have added some edge and more power
to the music is the convention of a real drummer, not something done
by electrical means. Electronic drums get annoying after a while.
“Super-Vel” is twelve intense tracks for over thirty-seven
hammering minutes. All songs are decent but “Just Hit Pomona”
is my number one pick, “Will It Go’Round In Circles”
is pretty good as well. I don’t think Subsonic created something
special with this CD, just something that’s a little different
the norm. Rating: 71 |
