Strych-Nine's has become Florida's best melodic "Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Band. Having
been around for seven years, the band has developed a distinctive style all their own.
They have taken the 1980's and jacked it up to the '90s! The stuff is not thrash or speed
metal, but some of the best hard rock around. It fills the empty niche in today's rock
music". --Site Press Material
Not only does the aforementioned
press material pretty much sum up Strych-Nine, but the music is sheer
evidence in giving proof to the high quality of talent in this band. Hailing from the
Metal hub of South Florida, Strych-Nine is a kick ass sound not to be
missed if you live in that area or enjoy high energy tasty riffs of lead guitar and bass,
and the crunching mesmerizing dark heavy rhythm guitar that reminds me in part of the
rhythm guitars in some work done by Catherine Wheel in the past, and
coupled with incredible drumming and Black Sabboth sounding vocals!
With Jack Witt doing his vocal
repetroire, you can't go wrong with this group if you are at all interested in this sort
of music. Suicide 39 is laden with tasty guitars, vocals you can hear clearly that
are on key and span octaves that most people can't even dream of hitting, lyrics that you
will surely relate to, "The killers stock the battle fields with all the latest
dreams, battle zone, hearing lost by armor piercing rings..." - War, and real
drums that roll SO fast at times I don't know how Russ Lange can
actually move that quick!
This release is NOT for the weak at
heart! Hard-driven yet injected with melody, you won't be unhappy with Suicide 39.
If you live in or near South Florida, get out and support Strych-Nine!!
