CoC : Shallow, North Dakota - This Apparatus Must Be Earthed : Review

Shallow, North Dakota - _This Apparatus Must Be Earthed_
(Sonic Unyon, 1997)
by: Adrian Bromley (7 out of 10)

Hamilton, Ontario heavyweights SND return to the hard music scene of Canada with a crushing release (the follow-up to 1995's superb _Auto Body Crusher_). For those of you who do not know of SND, I suggest you find out fast before I come to your house and bust your chops. This album is great. With a very Fu Manchu/Kyuss dirge sound - a sound full of heavy riffs, powerful vocals (supplied by drummer/singer Tony), and a killer rhythm section to boot - SND is all you need to get you through the day. Crank this shit and forget about all your troubles. Check out the killer instrumental title track, as it doesn't get any heavier than that. Powerhouse music that'll pin ya to the floor.
