UMUR
"Destroy the Light" is the debut full-length studio album by industrial metal act Circle of Animals. The album was released through Relapse Records in October 2010. The band consists of Bruce Lamont (Yakuza) and Sanford Parker (Minsk, Buried At Sea, The High Confessions).

The music on the album is Ministry influenced industrial metal. It´s pretty well played and composed and it´s worth a listen for fans of the genre but I wouldn´t call it particularly original. As with most industrial metal the tracks are repetitive and mechanical in nature. They are not that memorable though and even after several listens there´s nothing here that really sticks out. I simply can´t remember most of the tracks after the album ends.

I think it´s pretty obvious that Circle of Animals is a project for Bruce Lamont and Sanford Parker. An industrial metal playground. It´s always interesting to hear musicians doing something that´s a bit out of their comfort zone, but I could have wished for something a bit more unique and memorable. A 2.5 - 3 star (55%) rating is warranted.
