This chameleon-like American band takes elements of heavy metal, industrial rock, post-grunge and even AOR, rolls them all into a tight ball of sonic aggression, throws that ball out of your speakers and lets it crash into the side of your head with a loud thud. The first four tracks on Waking the Dead – the latest album from The Clay People – take on radically different personalities. From raw punk-metal bark to post-grunge rumble to soaring na-na-nas to low-fi fuzz, these tracks capture a band fully engaged in battle. Gruff-voiced Daniel Neet is responsible for the vocal variety on Waking the Dead, but the other members of this quintet all do their part to keep the velocity high and the tuning low. And with more than half of the 15 songs here mixed by Neil Kernon (Queensryche, Nevermore) you can expect a clean but lethal aural experience that … won't change your world.
