GRIP INC. - Power Of Inner Strength (Dave Lombardo & Waldemar Sorychta) Metal

Description: Is it possible that one drummer, any drummer, could feel limited in a band like Slayer? Could it be that any guy who had performed that drumming in “Reign in Blood”, “South of Heaven” and “Seasons in the Abyss” would feel that he had not yet reached his full potential?. Yes, Dave Lombardo claimed that, among others, one of the main reasons he wanted to quit Slayer, was to try something different, something that would help him get even closer to his potential. So, after his departure from Slayer, Dave Lombardo played in a band named Voodoocult, in 1993, where he met guitarist – producer Waldemar Sorychta , and decided to form Grip Inc. They recruited bassist Jason Viebrooks and former punk-rocker Gus Chambers as the lead singer and two years later they released their debut album, “Power of Inner Strength”, via Metal Blade records.“Power of inner Strength” will remind you of a less sinister Slayer indeed, as it was expected, but it also brings to mind a heavier, and more complex (in terms of song structure) edition of Prong, or Helmet. Which means that “Power of Inner Strength” is an album dominated both by high speed thrash assaults, but also (and probably more often) by bouncing, massive grooves. While the impressive “Hostage to heaven” is fast, furious and lyrically hostile to religion, songs like the band’s biggest hit “Ostracized” and “Savage Seas” are precursors of what would eventually become the heaviest side of nu-metal (or groove metal as it is today known). In tracks like “Colors of Death” Grip Inc. shift towards a more atmospheric sound, and generally the band does its utmost to sound as multidimensional as possible.
