Title - ‘Evolver’ (Reality Ent.)
Artist - Godhead
For the first 4 or 5 tracks on this album, I was starting to get a little worried as they sounded a little more "radio-friendly" than the godhead I knew and loved. Then, I noticed that the tracks were actually transitioning slowing from the faster, more upbeat to the slower and darker. By the time ’Rotten’ and ’Without’ roll around, you're taken back to the slow, haunting melodies that characterized my favorite godhead album, Powertool. The guest vocals by Static-X frontman Wayne Static on ’The Giveaway’ are interesting, but don't really add much to the experience.
