Transfear

I'm not positive on this
bands origins, I want to say Canada, but I
haven't seen any actual proof besides a place called Brisbane (sorry,
I'm not a guru on world travel) they mention quite a bit. Something not
really common nowadays is the art of "hesh", remember that
term? Always
linked to Flotsam & Jetsam mainly but used by quite a few bands in
the
80's---a short version of "heavy thrash". Transfear is very
energetic in
this with added moshing, crossover and believe it or not, a slight
sludgy style like Crowbar in some instances and their vocalist is very
close to sounding like Biohazard. The band has been around since '97 and
only has put out a debut demo besides "Killer Species" back in
'99
entitled, "Sore" which took 18 months to finish writing and
solidifying
a line-up who's chemistry is very defined on this 4-track EP including
an odd sound the band has and the added handful of influences in many
different genres of metal. Worth checking out and like to hear more down
the road from these guys.
