TRU SMOKE DIEZEL
"Demo"
(Self-produced)
Reviewed by R. Scott Bolton
Tru Smoke Diezel's sound is reminiscent of PANTERA crossed with MACHINE HEAD and easily as explosive. The band has opened for such bands as PRO-PAIN, SEPULTURA, OVERKILL, TESTAMENT, SKINLAB, DEATH, SIX FEET UNDER, CROWBAR, SKREW and MERCYFUL FATE. That's certainly fitting, because Tru Smoke Diezel is easily as intense as any of those bands, delivering a crushing wall of metal mayhem.
Tru Smoke Diezel: Mike Affinito, vocals; John Heintz, guitars; Joe Wilkinson, guitars; John Johnson, drums; Anthony Maniaci, bass.
Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
