 It’s not Thrash, but something that uses it; it’s not grind or industrial, but frighteningly more emotional and furious.

 From the first listen, we come out rightfully drained, annoyed, with the CD ending up on the shelf of disappointments... but then with monthly listens, which will become weekly, which will turn into daily, we will be forced into the 'rite of plundering good intentions' daily by these madmen!

Strapping Young Lad's City is a fierce and emotionally charged metal album that defies strict genre classification. With Devin Townsend's eclectic vocals and Jed Hoglan's powerful drumming, the album delivers a 39-minute journey through intense, melodic, and crushing soundscapes. Initial listens may feel overwhelming, but repeated plays reveal its deep impact and strength. The production complements the urban atmosphere perfectly, making City a standout record in modern metal. Listen to Strapping Young Lad's City and experience one of metal's most intense and emotionally powerful albums.

 A wonderfully evoked atmosphere from the guitar work... hypnotizes (sometimes it seems the music could end at any moment!).

 An album for those who obviously appreciate not too ‘Metal’ sounds, but written and produced by people... who cannot release trash or even half missteps.
