CoC : Captor - Dogface : Review

Captor - _Dogface_
(Diehard, 1997)
by: Paul Schwarz (4 out of 10)

Hmm, who do this band sound like? Yeah, it's another Coal Chamber, Korn, Limp Bizkit, etc. clone band. However, what's different about Captor is -- oh there isn't anything, well, not to worry. If you like this sort of stuff this isn't too bad (for my money it's better than Coal Chamber's debut), but I really don't see that there is any need to possess more than about three albums in this style and for my money those album are Korn's debut, and both of The Deftones' albums. However, if you're a sucker for riff heavy, I-hate-my-life type dirge, you could go a lot more wrong than buying _Dogface_. One thing though, these guys -boast- of not having any "tedious leads" (meaning that leads -are- tedious, not that they only have leads which aren't tedious), which ironically is one thing that could have actually made this album interesting.
