REVIEW: 10$ HEAD - THE HENFORD CHAINSTORE MASSACRE

 


10$ HEAD - THE HENFORD CHAINSTORE MASSACRE (Independent , 2000)


Produced by Pete Freshney and 10$ Head

Recorded at Pulham Village Hall

Artwork by Dunn


Tracks: 1- Eat Shit and Die, 2- XXX, 3- Self Brutilation, 4- Surrogate


Looking at the coverof this CD reminded me of grind death bands of the late eighties. Specially it reminded me of Nuclear Death´s "Bride of Insect". But the similarities dissapear there: the music here is completely different. Here we have more like a straightforward death metal but with a special feature: electronic drums (and it does not play blast beats all the time). Also the guitars sound different from what they are supposed to sound in the style. In fact there are elements that would not be out of place in an industrial band. Can we call this "industrial death metal"? Who knows? The fact is that the music is fast and powerful and has many moods and atmospheres but it needs a better mix to achieve better results. Favorite tracks: "Eat Shit and Die" and "Self Brutilation".
