CoC : Internal Bleeding - Driven to Conquer : Review

Internal Bleeding - _Driven to Conquer_
(Pavement, 1999)
by: Adrian Bromley (4 out of 10)

By the time their third song comes around, I was already tired of Internal Bleeding's brutally charged (at times) effort _Driven to Conquer_. The reason? Too same sounding for the most part, and to be honest, the music just doesn't live up to what a lot of other death metal bands are doing these days. While the vocals of singer Ray Lebron do hit a truly guttural stride at times, in the end not even some serious guitar riffing and double-kicks could save this from mediocrity. Only salvageable tracks are "Conditioned" and "Slavesoul". Fans of the band, go ahead and check 'em out. Not a fan? You're not missing much.
