Metal supergroup time as this is the reissue of the band’s first album. Featuring Troy Sanders from Mastodon on bass and vocals, Greg Puciato from Dillinger Escape Plan on vocals, Max Cavalera on guitar, and Ben Koller from Converge on the pots and pans.
There are some killer metal grooves here. Face Down feels like Slipknot but with a fat chugga groove. Dust Into Darkness has a very Anthrax vibe to the intro, and with Troy’s vocals it has that Mastodon undertone, but it’s the opening track, Wings Of Feather And Wax, that really floats my boat. Monster riffage with a mix of clean and scream vocal and a ripping groove.
This is a really cool collaboration of metal muso’s, and the follow up is really good as well. For metal heads only.
8.5/10 from The Grooveman.
