    I never knew about Strapping Young Lad until watching a long interview with Gene Hoglan that he did shortly after joining Fear Factory. Funny thing is, I knew who Devin Townsend was, and I loved his DTP and DT bands, but my dumb ass never knew that he was the founder of SYL. Being a fan of Dethklok, and of Gene in general and everything that he does, this interview that he did, he introduced me to a few projects that he was part of that I never knew about. It was that interview where he mentioned, that out of all of the bands that he has had the honor to be a part of, his favorite band to perform with was Strapping Young Lad.
    He also stated, that if Strapping Young Lad ever wanted to play again and tour, he would drop everything that he was doing just to play with them again. That is when I was introduced to SYL, and I am glad that I was, cause this entire band is bad ass. From the lyrics, to the entire structure of their songs and how well written every piece is, this band was a well done piece of art. How I never knew about them for all of these years, leaves me baffled. After listening to some of their songs, I went out and bought all 4 albums. City, Alien and The New Black are my 3 favorite albums. Each album has it's own forte.

    Incredible industrial thrash metal. I remember the first time I listened to "City" back in 1997 and being totally overwhelmed by it. The angry vocals, the crunchy guitars, the catchy bass, and especially the thundering drums blew me away. It literally sounded like the end of the world. "Detox" is a superb song. It's visceral and brutal, but also quite melodic in its way. Top notch singing by Devin Townsend. I love his screaming. Interestingly enough, "City" was recorded at Steve Vai's studio.

      Not my kind of bpm (no offense, but I like it faster, above 500 bpm, like splittercore and exterior exterior extratone)
      but hey, if you like it, I have no problem with that, have a good day

    Heard this song now for first time after 24 fucking years. In 1997 my brother recorded it on MC from radio from some metal chart show and we was listening to it with mouth wide opened. He was strapping young lad but he died that same year and the MC was lost somewhere. Strange memories...

    Remember going to see these guys about 8 years ago in Glasgow. Devon came on and jammed a few tracks with Zimmers Hole, then he did a full set with the Devon Townsend Band and then he came on a third time and did the SYL set, Guy has such a phenominal amount of energy. Plus I met my wife at that show. It was an awesome night all round.
