Load (Deluxe Edition)

VINYL FORMAT. This limited DELUXE EDITION features the album spread out over four 180 gram pieces of vinyl, mastered at 45 RPM! "Load has a brand new sound that I label as a mixture between hard rock and 'soft' metal riffs with several experimental elements: quite original. The opening track has a great riff, catchy rhythm and aggressive vocals. But by the second track you can feel bluesy lead guitars and slow, soft riffs. '2 X 4' has an evident Sabbathian feel. The following track is really original: frightening atmospheres, scary lyrics, demoniac wah effects and even a talk box. 'Until It Sleeps' is one of the four singles. Nice song, strange lyrics but nothing special, just a good fretless bass. The fifth track, 'King Nothing,' is one of the best on this album: it all turns around a wonderful bass riff. A perfect hard rock rhythm catches you immediately. Lyrics are great, well conceived, catchy and there's a strange 'We're off to never never land' at the end. A great single! Another song, another single: 'Hero of the Day' is an excellent melodic ballad with a heavy disturbing ending: 'Mama they try and break me.'" - Metalstorm.net
