System Failure, a great debut album from the American band Control_Z

System Failure, a great debut album from the American band Control_Z, is mature and accreted songwriting with a sophisticated heavy metal rock sound. The tracks are powerful and straight, like a punch into your stomach. These guys don't want to create something new, but their strength, their determination and their passion for heavy metal is clear in their music. Dave's voice is powerful and catchy, comfortable with the speed of the heavy metal guitars of Shawn, the power of the drums played by Darin and the perfect rhythm of the great bass player Steve.They can alternate very good technical metal with catchy melodies, the right choice that will satisfy the listener. The sound will slow down with the last track, "Indian Nation". They show they can play less powerful songs going for a slower melody. You should listen to it. It's worth it. They have also done a good job with the opening track "Throw Away".This song was used in the movie "Surveillance" directed by Fritz Kiersch and produced by Gray Frederickson (GODFATHER PART 2 and APOCALYPSE NOW). We are just waiting for the video to enjoy this song at it's best. An interesting and powerful cd!

Look at the photos of Control_Z and you get the whole picture of where the band is coming from; dark moody poses, not to be messed with attitude, playing cause they mean it and majorly pissed at the world for the suffering its caused them. Its payback time.
The band has done the hard road penance and learned their craft well. They are tight and know what they're doing when putting this stuff together. Setting up a recording studio and holding the reigns to there master recordings is a smart move for any artist to do, regardless of what genre you fall into.
When angst is used to move the masses into revolution the whole hard rock scene starts to make sense. Dylan did it with folk and the hard rock scene is doing it with the sonic assault gun slinging approach.
‘System Failure’ is a rock n roll assault and as the title suggests the system may well have failed us, let's hope the next album is titled ‘System Replacement’. Tank Rock coming to a Strike Force near you soon!
