CoC : Dream Into Dust - Dream Into Dust : Review

Dream Into Dust - _Dream Into Dust_
(Chthonic Streams, 1997)
by: Adrian Bromley (3 out of 10)

What kind of boring electronic rock/metal music dribble is this? Taking on a total "drown in the pain I am suffering" feel to it, Dream Into Dust puts into their music all the cliche sounds and styles that helped bands like Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson soar to success. "Feel my pain!" -- bullshit! And while the attitude and direction is totally concocted to follow the forerunners of the genre/style, the music as well seems to run second fiddle against the 'biggies' of this music genre. No real identity is resolved with their hard work and song writing to match those accomplishments by their heroes. They left nothing to credit their own ability to be their own band. No identity and no real good music can be found here on the self-titled debut. Ignore the copycats and stick with the real innovators of the genre -- if that is what you are into.
