CoC : Manmade God - Manmade God : Review

Manmade God - _Manmade God_
(Independent, 1998)
by: Adrian Bromley (6 out of 10)

While this 5-song outing radiates a solid groove throughout, I'm a little annoyed by mid-mark with its monotonous vocal drones and similar riffs over and over. The sound of Manmade God can best be compared to Tool meshing with a heavy Black Sabbath/Soundgarden-esque guitar sound. And while I did have problems with the sameness of this record, songs like "Scarred by Lust" and "Rip Me Out" keep things a little fresh. Vocalist Mike Green has a pretty dark and eerie vocal style that would be enhanced ten fold if some uniqueness and a bit more experience of styling was put into this music.
