You just don't know what your in for......Do You?

About Me

"The music here is a cocktail of different styles including rap, rock, industrial and electro. The electronic programming/sampling is chaotic, the bass beats heavy, the guitars thrashy and the vocals are a mix between deep word blurting and high toned singing. Everything is mixed together well delivering a lot of variety in each song........This album will mostly appeal to fans of coldwave and nu metal music similar to Acumen Nation, 16 Volt, SMP, Korn, (hed) PE, etc. There is crossover appeal here, and I could see Encounter Box becoming a big name in commercial music if they got the right exposure......................DARKLIGHT-WRAPPED IN WIRE/ Anyone that was paying attention to the 90s and labels like Reconstriction Records will know what this band sounds like. Encounter Box is a mix between the militant Hip-Hop of SMP, the raw energy of early 16volt, the vocal growling of Bile and the junk-punk aesthetic of Babyland.........Guitar-driven angst never sounded so good........GUNHED-WET WORKS E ZINE/ Supported by a fury of angry electronics and thrashing guitars, Dominick Llama and Digital T (both formerly of Corrosive 8) meld politically and socially aware hip-hop with metalized industrial. Think Public Enemy meets Ministry and KMFDM........Encounter Box may not have been the first to break the silence on their chosen issues, but their sound will break the silence in a room by bringing in the confrontational noise....KENYON HOPKIN-LONG ISLAND PRESS/ At first, youll wonder what exactly youve gotten yourself into, and then it soon becomes all-too-clear that nothing is wrong.....youve entered the land of genius.....TIM CONNELLY-LONG ISLAND MUSIC SCENE-INSIDE CONNECTION MAGAZINE/ This is good music for a mixed party that you want to point in the down and dirty direction. Its pretty sleazy sounding and I'll bet it encourages some filthy behavior on the dance floor.......CHC-NEOZINE
