There's a whole crop of bands emerging at the moment that play that awesome, no-nonsense, no gimmicks form of straight-up Metal. So far I've been left in awe with bands like Flatline, Black Ritual and Five Finger Death Punch... and now another band can be added to that list - Forcefeed from the Netherlands.
Once again, I was lurking around on MySpace (this is becoming the norm now... and I'm becoming a real geek... not that I wasn't already, but hey) and I just happened to find out about the band. I quickly decided that I needed their album in my collection (I'm sure I can hear my bank balance scream whenever I discover a new band on MySpace) and it's been happily living on my MP3 player (alongside the aforementioned bands) ever since.
Forcefeed's brand of Metal, blends full blown aggression with melodic choruses, heavy riffs and fantastic leads. These ingredients lead this album to be incredibly addictive and I've yet to tire of it (even though it's been in my collection and played a lot for about 2 months). Songs like "No Answers" and "Grinder" have become instant favourites and there's just something about "Of The Masses" that makes me want to hit that 'repeat' button and "The End Of All" just makes me want to bang my head like there's no tomorrow.
Basically, I have just one question for Forcefeed. UK tour?
