Affliction--Killswitch (2000/FA-Q)
Rating--7.6
The second overall release from these Wisconsin metalheads, and the first full-length disc. No-nonsense attitude shines through by way of more Anselmo-like
vocals, and the music moves from similar Pantera-like strains to some of the newer-generation metal, ala Slipknot.
The choppy and chuggy "Stagnant" is an early
fave, and a steady rhythm forms the backbone to "Deny Everything".
"Mercy Killing" is a nasty track, and a number of tunes prove to be solid fare, including
"E.O.I.," "Desolate," and the slashing "Just One Bullet".
