Further proof that Brit-metal is increasingly providing a real alternative to US nu-metal which is fast becoming the LA hair metal of the '90s. The 'tones lastest EP is a thing of great beauty and brutality, occupying the hitherto undiscovered territory between Faith No More's 'King For A Day... Fool For A Lifetime' album and Deftones' 'Adrenaline'. Unpredictable, inventive and very, very cool, this is metal which dares to be different and deserves to be heard as much as possible. A carrer high point indeed.
