Album Review

By combining the barely containable fury of Korn and the Deftones with the artful progressiveness of Tool, Spineshank should have no problem attracting the aforementioned band's audiences with their debut release, Strictly Diesel. Singer Johnny Santos is a disciple of the talk/scream/sing style that many metal bands of the late '90s use, while the musicians have no problem creating loopy, elastic rock. But Spineshank isn't a direct ripoff of their influences; it's hard to think of any band today that would have had the guts to redo the Beatles' classic "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" as a distorted, heavy dirge. The lyrics for their original songs usually reflect how hardships in their lives had made them stronger, as in the track "Where We Fall," while electronics seep into the music throughout (thanks to programmer Josh Abraham, who's worked previously with Limp Bizkit and Orgy). Fans of angst metal will have no problem latching onto such tracks as "Intake," "Stovebox," "28," and the title track.

NuMetal

were Spineshank first started, if you like NuMetal/Indrustral, buy this album!!

Fantasic CD

Why only the clean version though?

This album is sweet!

I love this album!...as well as the rest of Spineshanks stuff. If you don't wanna fork out the cash for the entire album, at least get Detatched, and While My Guitar Gently Weeps (which is a remake from the Beetle's). Release date is acctually 1998. There is not much swearing in the album, so you won't be missing out too much with the clean version.

Basic Enigma broke up upon hearing Demanufacture, the 1996 release by electro-metallists Fear Factory, but soon re-formed with a different sound and moniker, and a new bassist (Robert Garcia).
