What’s the 4-1-1?
Baltimore based group release their debut to the masses.
Genre
Hard rock / metal / industrial
The Good
“Welcome Change” is elevated by rapid-fire drums, powerful vocals,
and heavy riffs. Industrial rhythms mixed with throaty and earth-shaking
vocals take control of “Escape the Machine.” “Sins” begins
with haunting tones as well as vocals. The song is driven by an infectious
riff and vocal hook. Pounding drums and gut busting wails inject “Gone
Wrong” with energy and intensity. The lead guitar riff on “To
Have You” has a Middle-Eastern influence to it, although the rest of
the track is pure hard rock indulgence. “Without a Soul” starts
off slow and subdued, but builds to an in-your-face climax.
The Bad
Nothing notable
The Verdict
Creating a Monster is a powerful modern rock album full of muscle and energy,
with slight references to the 90s industrial sound.
Did You Know?
Shift just signed a major distribution deal with Nightmare Records.
