SMP
Death of the Format (WTII Records)
release date: 6/11/2013
by Mike Delano
Long-running industrial/electro/genre-bending group out of Washington state. SMP (Sounds of Mass Production) delivers on the promise of “Metal Madness” with these five minutes of hard driving beats that layer metal aggression (and a delightfully wanky guitar solo) over a dance/industrial skeleton, along the lines of Pain or Rammstein. SMP mastermind Jason Bazinet is also the drummer for Front Line Assembly.
