If you are still here -let's get on with it!

Superjoint Ritual is both very underated and overlooked, and I'm hoping this review can change that picture a bit.

The band consisted of Phil Anselmo (vocals), Jim Bower (Guitar), Kevin Bond (guitar), Hank Willams III (bas) & Joe Fazzio (drums). They released two studioalbums before disbanding in 2004. Use once and destroy was their debut album released in 2002.

Use once and destroy is a good southern stew that mixes pantera with Corrosion of conformity & EyeHateGod. Expect groove-metal mixed with a heavy thrash influence resulting in an "in your face" agressive sound. Phil delivers some really intense vocals, and his range is just downright incredible! He yells growls, sing and scream like there's no tomorrow, and I'm constantly thinking of the cover from "A vulgar display of power", where the fist hits the face, because this is how this album feels - like a giant fist in your face! The raw and pure energi present here, was a big giant middle finger to the nu-metal acts that came around in 2002. This is a pure metal record, and if you place it besides your Korn or whatever cd's, they are sure to catch on fire.

That album is generally good, but the production sounds a bit raw, and it can be hard to distingues one track from another. But if you are a fan of one of the aforementioned bands, this is a no-brainer - get the album! This should be in every big 4x4 or pick-up truck!
