Wow, what a raucous shit-storm this is. Four fat guys with long hair and/or beards made a metal album. Well, I didn't see that one coming. And is it just me, or did these fuckjobs name themselves after a novelty parody of the Intel Inside logo? They list their influences as "Entombed, Sepultura, and old Machine Head." I guess you can guess what it sounds like.

My favorite part is when I imagine kids in huge black pants head banging to this and punching each other in the mosh pit. Or hearing this on some modern rock radio station. Nü-Metal!! Yeah! Rock man! YEAH! I totally love Slipknot too! But I need to keep in touch with my metal roots, so I'm going to list some well thought out "influences." Taken from their press sheet is this lovely quote: "I don't think we relate to a lot of the stuff that's out there right now." Which is why I guess they sound exactly like every other heavy nü-metal band that thinks that they're re-inventing a genre.

But these guys ARE inventive! They have lots of noisy intermissions between their songs! Just like Tool!

Someone go slap these guys until they start playing in a wussy emo band. That will shut these douches up.

    I hate it when people try and write a music review they spend most of the time bitching about what a band looks like, what there fans look like, etc. Devilinside never claimed to be starting "something new". Just listen to the music. 2 great bands for people to get into are going to be devilinside and the threat is real. Just a couple of bands playing some metal music.

    Geez Jesse, you're a reviewing machine this week.

    Jesse (September 15, 2004)

    Twice, now stop bitching.

    recordings (September 15, 2004)

    how many times must you compare bands to slipknot? (see dry socket in minneapolis show review)

    your reviews are getting really boring.

    I have a promo of this. It's not quite nu-metal, but I'm not too fond of it either way. Thanks for saving me the effort, Jesse.

    Your a fucking idiot. There isn't anything "nu-metal" about this band in the least. Don't write reviews unless your actually going to take the time to listen to a cd.

    Entombed are awesome. Seriously, I doubt this band is any good, but if they really sound like Entombed, that definitely wouldn't be bad.
