Strapping Young Lad

Musical Group

Canadian extreme metal band formed in 1994 by Devin Townsend, noted for an aggressive, experimental blend of industrial and extreme metal and acclaimed albums such as City and Alien.

Core lineup included Devin Townsend (vocals, guitar), Gene Hoglan (drums), Jed Simon (guitar) and Byron Stroud (bass). The band is commonly self-described in reviews as 'Chaos Metal' and received strong praise for albums City (1997) and Alien (2004).

DeBaser reviews present Strapping Young Lad as an intense, innovative extreme/industrial metal force led by Devin Townsend. Reviewers repeatedly praise City and Alien and highlight Gene Hoglan's drumming. The New Black and SYL receive mixed-to-positive takes, with tracks and production discussed in detail.

For:Fans of extreme, industrial and experimental metal; listeners of Devin Townsend; metalheads seeking intense, innovative albums.

 

Self-defined by the band as "Chaos Metal", SYL's musical proposal is the most original, crazy, and energetic that currently exists in the now saturated extreme scene.

This CD, dated 2004, is probably the best from Strapping, and the sound reaches its full maturity.
