Album Review: The record starts out aggressive, angry but not as dense as expected. Sounding like a bad and very off key Ugly Kid Joe. They try the Sam Kinison yelling vocals, but coupled with the verse vocals, it doesn't sound good. Music wise, they use driving short guitar licks, and a few metal guitar solo sections, but overall, it sounds like your dirty friend's band, who's totally gonna make it.
Blister Rust is not just some "cool" sounding word salad. It is a disease originating in Asia that affects plants, specifically White Pines. They band, however, does not have much info on them out there. They had one album before this one, and planned to release a third in 2000, but that never seemed to materialize.
