Die Mannequin Supports Deftones, Finger 11, Sum 41

14 songs on Pervertidora records ,1999. Wow i dont think i have ever heard an album quite like this, because it is all orchestral compositions, but twisted, and is made into a etheral soundtrack to zone out to, very demented like. This is what experimental and industrial music should sound like, Not bull shit like NIN or FLA. MUB definitely takes from Aphex Twin, Kraftwerk, and Throbbing Gristle. This is…

The guitars are fast, which mostly brutal riffs on the low end of the E and A strings. The leas singer Bill Milano, half talks/screams his way through each songs. This screaming limits each of the songs to only 1 or 2…
