Damn the Machine – “Damn the Machine”
The leader of this band is Chris Poland. The man most well known for his out-of-this- world guitar work/solos on MEGADETHS legendary “Peace Sells…” release. D.T.M, however is far from being thrashy band. This is most similar to the sound of a guitar hero who plays real songs within the context of traditional heavy metal. There’s plenty of cool solos and riffs here, but it’s not indulging. Like I said before, this is not thrashy at all. Hardly any double bass drumming is found here, no aggressive screaming, just singing. Most people reading this probably will not like this release because it is not heavy enough for them, but the more adventurous among you might find this release to be a good breather between your CANNIBAL C. and AUTOPSY.
