5 out of 5 stars Truly stupendous metal........2006-10-13

After drummer Dave Lombardo got fired from Slayer in 1992, he would end up hooking up in 1993 with guitarist Waldemar Sorychta who was wanting to put together a band with vocalist Gus Chambers. Waldemar felt that Dave got a raw deal with what happened with his dismissal from Slayer and decided to design their new band as a vehicle of sorts for Dave's considerable and legendary drum talent.

And so, Grip Inc.'s 1995 debut "Power of Inner Strength" was born.

To put it bluntly, this album completely beats Slayer at their own game in some ways in comparison to what Slayer was doing from 1994 to 2001.

There is more variety here and Dave is given much more of an oppurtunity to stretch out with his drumming. The 1st track actually is a multitracked percussion showcase for Dave Lombardo that really sets the tone for what's to come.

Also in compaison to Slayer, the songwriting is much stronger and more nuanced. This also has a lot to do with the guitar and vocal work which is most excellent. Gus Chambers has quite a venomous vocal style that in some ways can bee seen as kind of similar to Testament's Chuck Billy, but with much better range & dynamics.

The band isn't afraid to slow down and sometimes breaks out acoustic stuff as well when they need to.

While there are a couple of songs that have kind of a thrash element, this is much more mid paced type metal of a most excellent variety.

Grip Inc. would put out 3 more albums to date that have seen them somehow get even better.

Any fan of Dave Lombardo or just great, well written and smart metal would do wise to pick this up.

5 out of 5 stars A 90's classic.......2002-09-16

At the time, I had bought this CD, like most of us, because it was Dave Lombardo's project. Then I found out that Tiamat ex-guitaris and producer Sorychta had a central role in it too... oh boy, I wasn't asking for so much!
Ten years later, I still consider this one of the most creative and original metal albums of the 90's. We're speaking about mature artists here, not a teenage band. There's some natural flow through the whole album that will make you tend to listen from beginning to end rather than this or that song.
Lots has been said about Dave's drumming. I'd like to add the beautiful simplicity of the guitar lines. Yet there's this raw power that became more progressive, more intricate, diverse, complicated in Grip Inc's next albums. This one is the 'simple but beautiful' album. Definitely underrated when released, and still underrated today. Grip Inc. nor another band will make an album like this again, so here's your chance to get it.

dave lombardo knows what he is doing. he knew what he was doing when he came up with this new band grip inc. they formed in the tradition of classic metal blade bands

5 out of 5 stars A Very Pleasant Surprise.......1999-11-01

I picked this CD up used and on-the-cheap (sorry Amazon), and I was expecting it to be a solid effort, but I certainly wasn't expecting it to blow me away. But blow me away it did.

I've been a Slayer fan since "Reign in Blood" and though I respect Dave Lombardo, I suspected his reputation stemmed from an album that was recorded 13 years ago. Well, I was dead wrong. This is one of the few heavy metal albums on which I think the drummer makes a huge difference and actually elevates the group beyond what it would be without him. It's amazing.

What's most impressive about this album is that it's quite diverse. All the songs sound different, and you can tell a lot of thought and care went into composing and recording them. I truly enjoy this CD, and I definitely plan on picking up Grip Inc.'s other two CDs shortly.

5 out of 5 stars eeeeeeeeeeh?.......1999-05-14

as a guitarist I am humbled at how awesome the guitarwork on this CD is. It's probably some of the best and most inventive riffing I've ever heard. The drumming is awesome also. But the only problem is that the singing isn't all that great. If they could have better executed and more well thought out lyrics and singing, then this band would be GREAT instead of mediocre. But since the guitar and actual music is so kick ***, I'm giving it five stars.

    Album Description

    Despite the smog-damaged ruins of it's once glorious past, Athens can be proud of it's remarkable and exemplary Metal scene and of it's leading band, Inner Wish, in particular. Formed in 1995, Inner Wish have a varied and acclaimed past behind them, touring with U.D.O., Helloween, Anathema, Therion, amongst others, as well as having their last album, 2004's Silent Faces, chart at #9 on the Japanese Import charts. Their sound is pure, 100% driving Melodic Power Metal in the classic sense. Inner Strength is yet another intelligent and exciting Inner Wish release, recorded in Germany with R.D. Liapakis (Mystic Prophecy, Valley's Eve, David Chastain, Jack Starr's Guardians Of The Flames) in The Prophecy and Music Factory Studios.
