I was sent a promo pack from for "Disease Within's" CD "Killing Time" and this is the way all bands should do things.Great package with CD,Photo,Bio,Lyrics and reviews.More bands should present themselves like this.The CD itself is one of the more interesting releases i have heard recently as it really doesn't fit into any specific genre of rock.It is a mixture of Grunge,Punk,Doom and Metal but isn't derivative at all.The CD opens with a nice little spoken word intro having a dig at modern day fads and trends.There is even a cool little dig at the Youtube video culture which is something i am surprised more bands don't comment on more often.When they launch into the first track you have a hard time keeping up with who this band sounds like.At times you get a "My Dying Bride" vibe and then that will turn into "Tool","The Melvins" or even "Helmet"The music twists and turns at a constant rate so getting into a groove with this band is very difficult.Of all the tracks on offer here,none really stands out as the mood moves and switches at a constant rate.The music is Doomish but this ain't no Doom band,this is a band that uses a certain Punk energy mixed with a smorgasbord of influences that leaves you scratching your head.The band have some odd vocal arrangements that can go from "Tool" like to "Bowieish" like melody's.Lyrics touch on religious themes,violence and cultural subjects that all of us that don't fit into the mainstream have a hard time dealing with.Overall i feel this band has got a lot of potential and a bright future in front of them.Just what market they will fit into is hard to say but if want to hear something different than maybe you might want to check them out.Out on Deadly Sin Records.8/10
