At the rate…

Fenix*TX – Purple Reign In Blood / 2006 Adrenaline / 13 Tracks / http://www.fenixtx.com / Reviewed 24 February 2006 For some reason, I was expecting Fenix*TX to be a lot lighter than the Sum 41/Static-X hybrid that the band shows off during this live album’s first track “Something Bad is Going To Happenâ€.
