Now This Is Rock!!!.......2007-04-12

wow,what a difference hiring a new producer can make!!
if anyone listened to 'Animal's release before this one '900 lb steam' you would think it's a totally different band
this CD rocks from start to finish and it's in your face with crisp clear metal sound!
I really like all the songs but the ones that stand out are 'Morning After' 'Turn And Walk Away','Hellchild','Salt' but most of all the amazing title track 'Violent New Breed'
this sounds like what W.A.S.P could have been had Blackie not decided to go into concept land
many of the songs sound similar to W.A.S.P (the singer can definitely sound like Blackie when he wants to) but surprisingly on most of the tunes they sound more like newer Black Sabbath (a good thing)
this is a great CD for fans of old school metal

the upside - awesome production,great songs,in your face solos and vocals

the downside - I wish the songs were a bit more memorable,but that will come,I'm sure

the bottom line - if these guys stay together,they will be a major force to be reckoned with,this CD rocks with the best of their peers,I highly recommend it...donutman says so!!!

What an improvement over their debut.......2006-09-14

I'm a big fan of old-school WASP and an avid early-80's metal fan in general, so when ANIMAL put out their first CD (900 lb Steam), I was quick to pick it up. That album was literally one of the worst-produced albums I've ever heard. Ever been to a club watching a show and then walked outside the venue? You know how you can hear the music thru the walls and it just sounds like bass-y mush? That's about what 900 lb Steam sounded like. Horrible.

I was disappointed, because I would have thought that one of WASP's founding members could put together something much better. Heck, these days, with recording software for a Mac or pc so affordable and easy to use, it's amazing that something could sound this bad.

In fact, that's how new ANIMAL guitarist/co-writer Chris Laney got into the band. He apparently heard 900 lb Steam, thought it sounded awful, and offered to re-mix the disc for free. Fast forward a few years and Laney is now in the band, co-writing most of the songs, and producing the new disc "Violent New Breed."

I never would have picked this up had I not heard a few samples of the tunes on myspace. I couldn't believe my ears. The songs were really good and the production is fantastic. These songs sound like a mix of The Last Command and the first WASP album. What's really freaky is lead vocalist Rich Lewis. He sounds EXACTLY like Blackie Lawless.

This disc is considerably better than any of the recent WASP albums. If there had been an album between WASP's 1st and The Last Command, it would have been Violent New Breed. If you like old-school WASP, this really is a great disc (and even worth a few extra bucks as an import).

Best I've heard in a long time!!!!.......2006-06-20

I listened to the the promo copy before it was released, this is an awesome cd with some of the best new music I have heard. Everyone that loves metal should add this to their collection! Randy Piper is Back and with him he brings only the best,long time friends Jackie Livengood, Rich Lewis, and Chris Laney.For more info on this Brutal New Release visit animalcave.net or myspace.com keyword animal.

Excellent electro-industrial sampler.......2001-09-28

New Violent Breed Volume 2 is an excellent electro-industrial compilation. Its content bears a similarity to its predecessor, Volume 1. Bands like Funker Vogt and In Strict Confidence appear on both.

Not every song is a winner. Pain Station's "Slaughterhouse (Slut) (Assemblage 23 Remix)" is a bit of a dog. The vocal manipulations are over the top, and the overall sound is pretty cheesy, but it is still certainly danceable. Similarly, Chiasm's "Fight (Continouom Mix by M.O.)" is danceable, but the drum machines are overbearing and vanilla. It's a shame, because the vocalist has an interesting voice.

Over all, the sampler will appeal to fans of EBM. If you're keen on 4/4 time club stomp tunes, then the first twelve tracks of the album will probably rock your boat. The EBM is very strong indeed. Deathline Int'l includes "Destroy" on the compilation, perhaps the best track off their recent Cybrid album. Dive's "Sidewalk Sinner", Dulce Liquido's "Disolucion," and Implant's "Nine" will also make you want to hop around menacingly.

By the time you get to the thirteenth track, the music changes. Funker Vogt's contribution, "Nuclear Winter," is curiously devoid of their signature drum machine. I'm not sure if I especially like the track, but a percussionless track is an interesting juxtoposition with their earlier work and with the rest of the album.

The last three tracks follow a wholly different drummer, so to speak. NKVD, Mono No Aware, and MS Gentur are industrial noise artists par excellence. In my opinion, this is what industrial music is all about, although I can understand how this subgenre can turn people off. It is not easy to listen to.

To revamp, New Violent Breed Volume 2 is an excellent sampler of current electronic industrial music. It would be a good introduction for people not familiar with this type of music, and I believe it will hold its own on RPM charts.

Pick up a copy and support the artists! If you like industrial music, also be sure to check out: rec|use, Tanzverbot, Mechanism, and Masonna (if you're a noisehead).

From Oakland, California's COP International label comes this tidy sampler of 15 industrial bands and what they've been occupying themselves with as the millennium draws to a close. Predictably, it's grim stuff--as if song titles like "Crashtime," "Suffering," and "Wasteground" weren't enough of a hint, not to mention the disc's title. Industrial clichés aside, this proves to be one of the stronger compilations on the market, clocking in at a value-added 73 minutes and featuring several worthwhile remixes and exclusive tracks from some familiar and not-so-familiar names. Highlights include VNV Nation's melodic "Solitary (Signals Edit)," the much-improved Pain Station's "Martyr," Solitary Experiments' strictly Teutonic "God, Where Are You," and Yavin 4's aggressive (and very impressive) drum & bass symphony, "Red 5." --Steve Landau

Covers the best of the electronic genre, no doubt a must have for fans and music lovers of all kind. A worthwhile investment... ~sekhemet

One of the best Electro bands around........1999-09-07

If you are into the likes of Evil's Toy, Informatik, Din Fiv, or any european electro band, you will love Funker Vogt. Personally, I would start with Execution Tracks, then proceed to this album. You won't find better.

If you can get your hands on this album... DO SO........2007-06-14

VIOLENT NEW BREED is without a doubt one of the ten best albums I have ever heard, and I listen to a lot of music. Shotgun Messiah started off as a hair metal band, and a pretty good one at that. But with VNB, we see the definitive paradigm of industrial heavy metal. The album itself gives new meaning to both sophistication and aggression, but what Shotgun Messiah has here that makes VNB so superior to everything before it, and everything that came after it (Ministry, KMFDM, Sister Machine Gun, Nine Inch Nails, Stabbing Westward, and so forth) is an uncompromising sense of melody. All the tracks rage hard and fast, but underneath them all is a strong connection to classic, hands in the air arena rock. Beneath all distortion and audio effects, you can actually hum along to "Jihad," and have to fight the urge to bust out your best air guitar skills during the bridge/solo in the titular "Violent New Breed." The majority of industrial rock is tone deaf and too wrapped up in the mystique of adding oppressive layers of sheer noise just to create that "industrial sound." In contrast, VNB maintains a keen connection to classic acts like AC/DC, lending tracks like the aforementioned "Jihad" the same kind of light-on-its-feet rock'n roll feel of "Shoot To Thrill." VIOLENT NEW BREED is a rare beast, and these days finding a copy can be difficult, but fans of this genre and music collectors with a taste for the premium stuff, it's undoubtedly worth it. Shotgun Messiah rocks, and VIOLENT NEW BREED is an album worthy of iconic status.

Brilliant Anger-Fueled Industrial Experimentation.......2007-02-13

I should start by pointing out that I was a child of the '80s, and a diehard guitar freak, so I went through every rock music trend there was...I knew this band both before and after this album, and I must say, this is the only Shotgun Messiah album that matters, and an industrial milestone that should have mattered, but didn't.

Let's face it kids, hard rock (especially glam rock and hair metal) pretty much sucked. Sure, it had hooks, but it was basically cheesy. When the nineties hit, they really did pop music a favor in a lot of ways....Shotgun took a drastic step in the right direction, dropped the "Oooh baby" schtick of their previous efforts, got pissed and put out a NIN-meets-hard-rock and metal album. Does it work? I'll tell you what, this disc is a permanent fixture in my CD collection, and I have worn out 3 copies. KMFDM and Ministry only wish they could have grooved like this...it is much better than a lot of the popular industrial bands of the '90s. A forgotten classic, mixing elements of rock, industrial and electronica, metal and good-old fashioned American anti-establishment angst. I'll always love this album on those days when you just want to be mad about something....classic!

it blew me away........2006-09-18

Ill be honest. I didnt expect much from this album. Don't get me wrong, I loved MDMFK, but I just wasnt sure if Tim could survive on his own. Well I was wrong....very wrong. An adrenaline packed thrill ride from start to finish. These songs start fast and never stop pounding. Sure, some of them do kinda sound similar, but i'll be honest I didn't care. A great album to blast in your car with all the windows rolled down and a great album to show your friends. I'd recommend this album to anyone and everyone, my new favorite headbanger. ;)

Violent direction change.......2006-07-12

SM were originally touted as a hair metal hard rock act. They failed to find success beyond a string of photos in Metal Edge magazine. And every pretty boy pop metal act achieved that, didn't they? Well the bands first album, apparently released while they were still called Kingpin, was called Welcome to Bop City, their second disc Second Coming followed (Kerrang magazine once called it a 'god among records') and then there was the mini LP I Want More.

But the real history of this album starts with the major personnel changes that rocked the band and it's direction as low and behold this is a proto industrial album. I say proto because industrial metal was still open for futher definition in '94. But Shotgun Messiah certainly give it the ol' college try.

The vocals are cutting, the do fire. Of course they are heavily treated and so lose a lot of expression but that's the sub genre in a nutshell isn't it? The 'drumming' attack is certainly persistent but musically it's the guitars that are so nagging, they just don't let up. On some songs they are more like guitar textures - quite reminiscent of NIN. Other tracks are somewhat more conventional in their guitar assault. This is a nice variation and adds mobility to the music. As for the subject matter - well it's undustrial metal and the album title is Violent New Breed - you figure it out.

Do not buy this album if you liked their early hard rock direction unless your prepared for a shock. Archivists of industrial metal should pick this up, it got missed in the first flush of industrial releases. For the casual hard rock fan there isn't a lot here, there are no lyrics as part of the package, heck you don't even get to find out the names of the two guys that made up S/M at this stage. No communication doesn't exactly inspre the newcomer to connect to the band.

But the riffs do shred. Check out track 6..... almost four stars this one and that's from a guy that normally hates industrial.

Lost Genius Album .......2006-04-01

I snagged this disc as soon as it came out. Let me tell you. I am going to give this five(wish I could give it 500)stars for several reasons. First the Quality of this disc is so far above anthing I have ever heard. I have had my copy for almost 15 years and it is old and scratched to hell. It plays louder and better than any new release out there. Bet my life on it. Second. This is the fourth disc by these guys. Yes Kingpin was a little on the sissie side, but this is a sound that should not have been ignored. I do not like industrial music. I think Sampling sucks. I hate bands like NIN and all those other no count screwheads that cant play so they push the button. But Skold and company had clearly proven themselves by releasing this monster. I Love this disc and try as I may I can not find anything that comes close to it. As far as the snotwad that says Tim Skold sounds like he is singing in a bottle or from a well. Well let me see, there is a such thing as sound effects and I honestly believe that is what he was going for. HEHE What a dork!
This disc is without a doubt the musical lost city of Atlantis. Along with Spread Eagle who why for the life of me did not get a break either. Well Messiah did, but they self destructed in the end.
This is the disc to have, this is where it is at and this is the core of raw and creative purity. A GEM
