Record companies don't usually bet on metal bands, and as far
as I can remember, whenever this has happened, the band has
been, at least (and being generous), crappy. After having learned
my lesson from so many scams, I decided to ignore any hypersupermegapromoted
band, and to date, I have been able to live a quieter life,
far from worries and headaches caused by the forced listening
to new releases that are supposed to cope the market.
I've seen adds in Metal magazines, on TV, heard them on the
radio, seen their promotion on the Internet, on chat channels
and metallic forums, etc. What I won't stand is being with a
nice lady and seeing the name Amset on the wrappers inside the
package of protective elements. That was the last straw, so
I made up my mind and decided to listen to them, although not
concentrating too much. I got myself a six half litre beer pack
and drank the three litres in one gulp to get the desired anaesthetic
effect, played the cd, and as I expected...
I would like someone to explain to me in detail what this band
or record has to deserve, if not anything else, for me to waste
my precious time with this review instead of spending it at
a Coyote-type bar exchanging opinions with the nice waitresses.
Record company managers: there are loads of bands that would
do wonders if anyone invested at least half of what you've spent
on this band. However, while they pick their balls off the floor,
they have to see how others get everything for nothing. Sad
but true...
