Synopsis
Amazon.com New York nu-metal quartet Dry Kill Logic spew anger out through every pore. Their debut album is the latest in a long line of nu-metal records that rests on the axis between violent, angst-ridden rock, and sample-ridden, mechanical metal grind. But beyond the nifty call-and-response opener, "Nightmare," Dry Kill Logic too often stray along a well-worn path; the likes of "Pain" and "Weight" pound out the lyrical clichés for all they're worth. It's only when Dry Kill Logic sound genuinely unhinged that they really come together, as on the wild-eyed "Rot," which nods toward the deranged hyper-metal of System of a Down, and on "Give Up, Give In, Lie Down," which recalls the bolt-tight dynamic of stunning British metal hopes Raging Speedhorn. That anger? Perhaps it's frustration, because Dry Kill Logic have almost turned out a great rock debut. --Louis Pattison Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsGot Anger? Gunther Haagendazs | Up High in the Trees | 06/04/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I found out about Dry Kill Logic through a Bonus CD that came with Rob Zombie's the Sinister Urge titled Calling all Maniacs. The song featured on it was Rot. That song alone convinced me to buy their album. Pleasantly I was not disappointed. Cliff's vocals are great. Some people compare Cliff to Corey from Slipknot, because he can scream (most of the songs) and sing (Goodnight). This is one of the CD's that perfectly expresses my anger. DKL are basically one of the bands that are pissed off about how many stupid people there are in the world. (I have met a lot of them) I wouldn't classify DKL as nu metal. There isn't any rap influence and they aren't about putting singles on the radio. The bands name itself strikes curiosity. Originally they were Hinge. They released a 3 song EP called Cause Moshin' is Good fun and a 9 song record called Elemental Evil. Those 2 records have been out of print for a long time and most likely they will not be re-released because they had a different guitarist on those records as well as other reasons. From the opening of Nightmare, you can tell that you are in for a ride. The song I mentioned before; Rot is one of those songs that just keeps getting heavier and heavier (the last 40 seconds is the best part). The CD closes with one of my favorite acoustic songs, Goodnight. After that we are treated to the hidden track known as SAB, It sounds like something that they were just goofing around in the studio with. Cliff sounds pissed on the entire record with the exception of Goodnight and Track 13. Scott's Guitar is relatively simple, so don't expect solos but it still sounds really good. The Bassist Dave, actually scratch built his Bass, so that shows he knows his stuff and the Drummer Phil is very good at what he does. A few of the reviews that gave a low rating said that he was the most talented of the group. If you're pissed off at the world and you need some to blow some steam, pick up a copy of the Darker Side of Nonsense today." F#@KING AWESOME!! Malik Jayawardena | Sydney, Australia | 05/05/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "A lot of my friends who are so called Metal fans have not even heard of this band or album because they are so used to what the mainstream feeds them as "Metal". But I have not heard anything out there as brutal, powerful and goddamn intelligent as this album in the Metal mainstream for a long time.It has reaffirmed my faith that some muso's out there still choose to have their balls securely attached.Cheers on a great album guys!" Awsome CD Malik Jayawardena | 05/03/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Dry Kill Logic, a great band, yes, a new band no, they have been around for a while just not under the name "dry Kill Logic". They've had previous releases under "Hinge". But Im not here to talk about that. This Album is unbelievable, from start to finish it just pumps out the energy we all need from a debut album. Rot is one of the best songs ive heard in a long time, it just explodes from the speakers and doesn't let up until its finish. The album on a whole is just amazing, can't wait until the new album to be released."
