Polyrhythmic metal anyone?
With most bands I like I go into frenzy mode and become an [insert band here] afficionado. I never really bothered with Synthetic Breed because I decided that no matter how much local music fans knew about this band, I'd always have one up on them - bassist Jonas Bahlo was my history teacher at the second high school I attended. See? That equals me>you.
Despite the nifty sound Synthetic Breed create, they sound a lot better on cd. My friend said it best when he told me "polyrhythmic metal is hard to headbang to" and he's right. Last time I saw them perform I was confronted by a wall of noise with each instrument hard to distinguish from the others and it was so loud that the vocals were all but drowned out. It was a shame too, they were the headliners and I was so looking forward to seeing them.
There's not much to say about this band even though I do enjoy listening to them.
If you're going to pass judgment on them from what I say, then I'm sorry to disappoint. You're better off listening to them yourself. Don't listen to them live first though; unless they've improved their sound since and I'm unaware.
Just be envious that the bassist was my history teacher. =D
