Album Review
Anyone who knows me, knows that I would normally shy away from anything loosely connected to Industrial Metal but this time I was asked nicely by a Record Company that I like. HELLBOUND is a band that mixes Groove Metal, Industrial and sometimes the sound effects that are a trademark for the Industrial parts are used a way which resembles Pop music (not full-blown Pop but poppy you know?). The Title track for example has a sound in the background that resembles a trumpet or another wind instrument (‘Out Of Time’ has it too and I really do NOT like it). This instrument really bugs me a lot, if I want to listen to anything resembling SKA, I would do that (I would NEVER do that, NEVER!). The rest is quite pleasant to be honest, Miika’s voice fits into that whole Groove Metal sound but the trumpets in the background somehow soften things up to a point where it becomes a downside to the sound that is too big to ignore. Until now I loved everything Hell Yeah gave to me but this is hardly bearable, sorry! If you like a little SKA in your Groove Metal you might love this...
