Dub Trio - Another Sound Is Dying


If you hear the name “Dub Trio” and your first reaction is “not another sublime rip off”, be prepared to be kicked squarely in the teeth. Another Sound Is Dying goes right for the throat from the very beginning, pounding a metal riff into your skull with a pissed off fervor that can only be found in . Yes, Dub Trio have their Jamaican influences, but on Another Sound they are definitely a kick-ass rock band. Each track has moments of ear splitting guitar, gut rumbling bass and, most memorably, innovative drumming that, more than anything, will bring to mind those dirty reggae riffs this band is associated with. Still, despite each player’s obvious strengths on their own instrument (huh huh), it’s the little studio magic moments that will stick with you, like on the pulsing “Funishment”, when some metallic computer noise from hell rears its head from the deep and right into your brain.If you like your music hard, heavy and truly innovative, you’ll enjoy this set.
Mike Patton does guest vocals on the only track with any.
