This Is Menace

A few years ago the pitchshifter rhythm section formed a band but with no lead singer, instead asking their friends and peers to do a track each. Also including members of Romeo Must Die and The Ghost of a Thousand on Gee-tars, vocalists have included:

Jeff Walker (Carcass)
Jaz Coleman (Killing Joke)
Colin Doran (Hundred Reasons)
Matt Davies (Funeral For A Friend)
Casey Chaos (Amen)
Mikee Goodman (Sikth)
Charlie Simpson (Fightstar)
Barney Greenway (Napalm Death)
Justin Hill (Sikth)
Paul Catten (Murder One / Barabbus)
Martin Ives (Charger)
JS Clayden (Pitchshifter)
Andy Cairns (Therapy?)
Justin Sullivan (New Model Army)
B'Hellmouth (Send More Paramedics)
Tom Lacey (The Ghost of a Thousand)
Paul McCallion (Hiding Place)
Karl Middelton (Twin Zero / earthtone9)
Ben Woosnam (Hondo Maclean)

I think they tried to ask Devin to guest on a track but were unsuccessful (don't even know if they successfully contacted him, or when they tried and if Devin was busy with other stuff).

Anyway, the music is guitar driven thrash, rock, metal and hardcore, schizoprhenic and subversive.

oh sweetness...I'd love to hear the track with Karl from Earthtone9...I knew of the Blueprint but didn't know he was with a band called Twin Zero, will have to check that out because I love that singer.

Dude ... for me, Twin Zero is like the next Evolution of Earthtone9. It's heavy, progressive stuff, has Si Hutchby form Earthtone9 on drums, and the main composer Reuben Gotto is big into Devin Townsend as an influence. If you like Isis, Old Man Gloom, and obviously bits of DTB (Terria or Accelerated Evolution era), you should deffinitely check out Twin Zero.

Oh, and there was a rumour a while back that their next album might get produced by the Hevy one :shock:

Deffinitely. Get Monolith. There's only 2 'songs' on the album, one is Earthbound that is on their myspace, the other is Monolith which is about 20 minutes long :D One of those albums that should be listened to as a whole ;)

Also, sent you an email :)
