Artist Spotlight: Sideblast -- Cocoon

Right on the heels of yesterdays A.S. post featuring Kalter, I discover the band "Sideblast". Their unique blend of groove, death, black, symphonic, and industrial metal have put this directly at the top of my playlist for the next few days. They've got a distinct sound, especially with a few of the tracks being EXTREMELY reminiscent of Strapping Young Lad, with the 'wall of sound' mentality that made them a force to be reckoned with. Plenty of oddball background noises to keep you entertained.
