Drum&Bass, Gaber, swirling electronics, heavy guitar riffs, speed and aggression, and even a little bit of nu-metal (it was 1999, after all). The Shizit’s first demo release for mp3.com back in the late nineties is surprisingly good. On this release the electronics and beats are definitely in the forefront with the riffs buried beneath, but it works. Also, the vocals include screaming, whispering, spoken word and actual singing. Of course, there are a few things that don’t work but they don’t detract very much from the songs. The biggest issue here is the muddy production. It robs the songs of a lot of their power, but in no way makes this unlistenable.
