SWITCHED / SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Take the best elements from Fear Factory (RIP), Alice In Chains and Slipknot, put them all together in a Nu Metal setting and leave to brew for about 6 months and what you have is one of the best CD’s in the last 12 months, yes it’s that good.

Ben Shigel the vocalist screams like Burton C Bell one minute and croons like Layne Stayley the next, (complete with the Jazz tinged harmonies), coupled with the industrial tinged rhythms and samples, makes this so irresistible and as catchy as a really catchy thing. The lead track "Inside" is as good as anything as you will hear anywhere and I predict big things for this band, song’s like "10 Dead Fingers" and "Exterminate" will have you trashing about like a mad man in no time.

I can't recommend this too highly if you take one chance on an unknown band this year make It witched and it hasn’t’ been mentioned in Metal Hammer or Kerrang yet, so remember where you read it first and tell everybody that you read about it first on my website.
