Grip Inc. Shines Through...

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Ever since I heard Slayer's 'Hell Awaits' I was hooked. But when I found out that drummer Dave Lombardo left. I was really mad, but at the same time eager to listen to his new project. Grip Inc.'s 'Nemesis' is by far their strongest release of their career. Grip Inc. blends tradition thrash, with modern death and the combination is just suberb. Gus Chamber's vocals have true feeling in them, and you can feel that through out the album. "War Between One" is the best track on the record. The lyrics rock, the vocals are perfect, the guitar and bass just hit hard, and ya' know the drums are getting their use. The seond best song on the album is "Rusty Nail", it kind of reminds me of old school Slayer, but just a little bit harder. Another standout track is "Myth Or Man". It is hard to find a song like that, with so much emotion on most thrash releases. To sum it all up, Grip Inc. is one of the best bands out there. They have yet to release a bad album, so don't waste any time. Pick this one up right away...-MC"
