Debut of the latest noisily intense rockers to emerge from America's West Coast Human Waste Project's tigerish frontwoman Aimee Echo has the advantage over some of her shoutier sisters in that she can actually sing. Purring and hiccoughing her way with a sick sensuality in Exit Wound, she can also confidently hold her own when pitting herself angrily against the pounding onslaught of Slide. Her band proves similarly versatile, switching moods from the harddriving intensity of Dog to the dreamy Electra with ease. All this plus songwriting skills that produce the memerable choruses of Disease and Hold Me Down makes Human Waste Project sound like they have much more than this one good album in them.
Human Waste Project
Human Waste Project, the acclaimed LA metal stars have split up. The band made the shock announcment during a secret show on Sunset Boulevard where they were supporting the new-look Sepultura at the House of Blues. At the time of going to press, it was unclear why the band had decided to call it a day, and the bands official website could shed no light on the matter. The fact that HWP were dropped by their label, Hollywood, earlier this year obviously played a major part in their decision, though they were in good spirits at last month's UK Ozzfest, and were optimistic about signing a new deal soon. Kerrang! hopes to have the full low-down on the HWP split, as well as comments from the band, next week.
This is Rayna and Aimee |
