The guttural tones of Afrikaans (a Dutch dialect) are well suited towards this brand of heavy metal. This is not the dated variety preferred by so many, but a modern interpretation with the punch it is needed. The lyrics focus on socio-political issues, but this is no Sepultura, and although Kobus! are far from being a metal parody band in the S.O.D. or Spinal Tap mould, there is a sense that they have their tongues embedded firmly in their cheek.

This is the metal album South Africa has been crying out for; an album able to appeal to the mainstream orientated rock fan yet will also grab the attention of the serious metalhead and may prove to be the catalyst needed to galvanise the scene.
