This is powerful metal in the vein of Machine Head or Sepultura but much more aggressive. Some elements of death metal and hardcore surface her and there but the interesting thing here are the rhythms that go far beyond speed. There are certain elements that reminded me of Pro-Pain but in fact this is really different from that. 2 Ton Predator has an interesting point in the vocals of Mogge who is a really flexible screamer (going from melodic lines a la Phil Anselmo to a deeper growling). A killer guitarist is another column of 2 Ton Predator with rhythmic riffs, favoring good taste. Songs like "Pumpjack pleasure" are ideal for the moshpit !! Favorite tracks: "Duct Tape Story", "Pumpjack Pleasure" and "Downright Evil". Contact: www.diehardmusic.com or diehard@diehardmusic.com
