The debut EP from Norwegian quartet Ground Zero System is a pleasant surprise. The four tracks presented display an inventive approach to metal music.  

It’s industrial metal with a groove and odd twists and turns. The vocal is growling, only interrupted by the occasional clean vocal, adding a fine contrast. In places there’s the feel you can get from a Morbid Angel album (circa Covenant), in other instances you find close ties to Die Krupps or even the Prodigy.  

I have a sneaking suspicion that we’ll be hearing more from these guys. Good stuff.
