This is the newest album by Slave Unit, released after 11 (!!)
years since the debut, self-titled CD. I paid attention to the
band a few years ago feeling a great power in their music with
raw aggression expressed by blending simple, edgy guitar riffs,
low tuned basslines and attacking vocals so I was expecting to
hear something that kind once again. Hot tempered tracks appear
on The Battle For Last Place CD in at least 9 for 10 songs.
Slave Unit is a band based in Oakland, CA featuring Mike Welch
(vocals, guitar, bass, programming, sampling, drums and
percussion), Shawn Brice (BloodWIRE): (Live) Guitar and
Percussion and Aki Sasaki (Black Snake Moan): (Live) Bass and
Percussion. The thing I do find interesting about their music is
mixing 3 dynamical, aggressive styles of music - industrial, punk
and metal. This is what I'd love to hear as a new wave of
industrial music taking a turn these days. The idea of returns is
simple - refresh the genre by adding some new tunes to get a new
quality based on well known music genres. There was industrial
rock, industrial metal, now it's time for industrial punk. I
haven't heard many bands that kind. Yet. Slave Unit may be
considered as the best example and a turning point for bands
which used to perform guitar driven music but would like to gain
new fans listening to still heavy and rebelled vibes. If you
listen to such tracks like Face #2, In Time (used also for The
Murderous Mix compilation including tracks by SMP, Penal Coloney,
64K or Tankt) or Hope you'll get an idea of what I mean by
industrial punk name. Of course it's not about labelling only but
about pure heavy music and this kind of thing usually comes true
during live shows. Don't miss Slave Unit shows when you have a
chance to read any informations about their venues.
There are only a few samples or looped backgrounds in the songs,
because the whole thing is about guitars, natural voices and
drums. And I'm glad of it. We've been getting too much of
electronic music for the couple of last years and personally I'm
fed up. It's high time for aggressive guitar driven music now!!
Tracklist:
01 Expect Nothing
02 Face#2
03 Etched
04 In Time
05 In Your Defense
06 Hope
07 Go
08 My Spine
09 Mold
10 Just Being There
