Here’s an album and band I missed out on almost 10 years ago!  (I was living/working in London at the time.)  These guys make Limp Bizkit (who suck) sound like the Jonas Brothers (who should suck an exhaust pipe).  The opening track “Unborn” is my favorite song on the album.  It’s got some crazy ass screaming, the signature driving rap metal beat and some lyrics that would make Kerry King proud.  What’s odd is that in the version of the song that I have it sounds like part of the 3rd verse that sound like they have been intentionally blanked out.
Listen to the clip:

And then song explodes into a hail screaming, moshing madness.
The lyrics in question are: “fucked jesus”.

The rest of the album is just pretty good but “Unborn” is the stand out track.

It’s been 10 yeas since Rage Against The Machine released their last studio album “Renegades” (2000). Over the years the rumor-mill has hinted at reunions and what not but the former band members are busy with their own projects. This lack of any new material from RATM has left a hole in my life that has only been partially filed with RATM’s 2003 release, “Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium”. But last night while scouring the web I found a possible alternative for the hole in my life in the form of Genuflect.   Genuflect  has some members of the Boston band Reveille and have all the makings of the either the next RATM or at least a tasty alternative. They’re pissed off at the world, they scream and they sound like RATM but with way more Metal than Funk. Some of the singing strays into some melodic crap (ala Linkin Park, who by the way suck donkey balls) which makes my asshole twitch and my blood boil with disgust. But their redeeming qualities of anti-fucking-everything, rage and heavy ass metal riffs allow me to over look this one fault.
