Industrial Metal at its best

I'll never get tired of listening to DROWN...

Take Jon Davis' growl and combine it with Videodrone's music

Get the feeling they're a little angry?

A fairly unique melding of metal and industrial.

Industrial Metal at its best.......2004-05-11

When i first got this cd i loved it probablly because i was going through with some stuff. Anyways this cd is dark, Twisted, & Angry.. but if u like bands like Korn, Spineshank, Slipknot, or Nine Inch Nails then you might like this cd. While you may find this cd dark & angry thats how most aggressive bands are nowadays.. when this cd first came out i think people werent ready for it yet because it plays along the lines of Slipknot & NIN.. Slipknot is one of those bands that sounds like they dont like anyone or anything, but Drown is more or less between Slipknot & NIN.. it has the elements of NIN with the angry side of Slipknot. Whether or not the lyrics have any meaning for you, this cd packs alot more then just the lyrics. Just the right tune of the guitar, heavy & low enough to produce alot of bass. Not only that the music adds enough techno/electronica to make it sound much heavier. I just hope and pray that 4 people come up with this idea for a great band. Other simaliar bands that i think kept that going are, Fear Factory, Spineshank, Dry Kill Logic (1st album), Professional Murder Music, Skinlab, Chimaira (1st album) ill Nino, Reveille as well as some of your fav bands that might continue this level of Metal.. some of them are heavier then others but just to let u know that this band was one of the best.

"Hold onto the Hollow" is DROWN's first release. I became a fan after hearing "Product of a Two-Faced World" which was released in 1998 and worked my way backwards to Hollow. "Product.." loses some of the electronics, and seems more hardcore, while "Hollow.." seems more raw and angry. DROWN sucked me up into the world of 1605, which started as a simple "rule" I guess you could say, on living life...DROWN has since broken up, but check out other projects by frontman LAUREN, such as FAMOUS, which opened on the Tattoo the Earth tour 2000, and his newest band SiX and their EP, "When the Beauty's Gone.."

Take Jon Davis' growl and combine it with Videodrone's music.......2000-06-01

....And that is exactly what you would get.

Although more abrasive than both bands, you can still get the idea of what they are like. Definetly pissed about something (who isn't?) Everyone who wrote reviews for this cd are correct : this is a GREAT cd to listen to when you are mega pissed.

I sure do. This may well be the angriest album in creation (of course, I have yet to hear the new one). Sounding something like a high-speed collision between NIN and Rollins, Drown growl, scream and vent so adeptly that it's hard not to be drawn in. My girlfriend hates this album, and I can imagine why -- I'd hate to be the woman who inspired the acid-etched bitterness and hatred portrayed on "Beautiful" and "What It Is To Burn." As I'm not, I have to say that this album is a blast to listen to - especially when you're in a bad mood and there's nobody around to tell you to turn down the volume. A true classic of the genre (whatever genre that may be) and right up there with Rollins' END OF SILENCE and Killing Joke's DIRT, EXTREMITIES AND VARIOUS REPRESSED EMOTIONS on the great big list of great big angry music.

The debut from Los Angeles' Drown features melodic compositions peppered with plenty of angst and longing. The electronics are evenly mixed with the guitars and Lauren Boquette's vocals don't fall into the unpleasant growl characterizing much of the genre these days. If you like this, check out Fear Factory's "Demanufacture" or Drown's work with Argyle Park, Society Burning or Skinny Puppy.
