Infernal Panzer Typhoon Strider

 I didn't find out about this 90's industrial band from Canada until relatively recently. Someone mentioned them in the comment section of a Fear Factory video and being a huge FF I had to check 'em out! Suffersystem was released in 1994. Source: discogs.com "Threat By Example" is an awesome track, it definitely reminds me of FF but it has a lot of hardcore punk influence too which I love. It also features a sound sample of the monster Anguirus from the Biotech is Godzilla series! "Motionless" is pretty heavy, sort of doomy like Black Sabbath. I don't care as much for the vocal style on this song.  "Inside These Walls" has some really awesome native-sounding drums which reminds me of Sepultura on their Roots album.

  Welcome to my blog, Infernal Panzer-Typhoon Strider. The name doesn't mean anything in particular, it just sounds cool. Here I will mainly be reviewing music albums, mostly from the various sub-genres of metal.

Some of my favorite sub-genres are thrash, doom, and melodic death metal but I plan on covering almost every genre.  Here are a few of my favorite albums: Tales From The Thousand Lakes Adagio Born Too Late Demanufacture Heaven & Hell Ride the Lightning Painkiller
