Oh... these fellows are pissed. Following a heavy thrash riff, electronic anger rolls brutally into my ears, when It Isn't Me hits off this record. Matt Zane (or was it Inzane?) screams and growls as possessed. Aggressive attitude - I like that! Let Me Live is more of middle tempo stoner rock. 6 Months is quite regular modern thrash. A few good riffs here and there, as in likewise stoner oriented No Father. Realms Of Bliss is a slower, doom-smelling ballad where Zane, with somewhat cleaner voice, screams "I want you to die". Lord is a blend of (today's) Overkill and Cradle of Filth. Enraptured surprises a bit, as a neo-classical guitar solo in the middle of all industrial grinding.

Society 1 claims to be an extreme band, detached from, and with goals to profoundly change, the society and most of what it stands for. You see, these guys are sexual perverts and occult Satanists - for real! Not just as an image as everybody else. According to the frontman Zane, a couple of band members had to leave the band because they were not true enough or even frightened of what Zane was up to. So, if anybody dare (or care) there is a deeper message to be read in the lyrics. Overall, it's a multi-influenced and varied record. But, this was too much slammering noise and too little melodies for my taste.
