NutZ & BoltZ: Piranah or piraña (pronounced /pɨˈrɑːnjə/, /pɨˈrænjə/, /pɨˈrɑːnə/, or /pɨˈrænə/) are members of a family of omnivorous freshwater fish which hail from Nashville, TN. They are known for their sharp toothed heavy metal edge and an aggressive appetite for chewing your ass!
Orchestrated Noise is not your momma’s knitting class music. This is aggression and brutality. This is a wake-up call to the weak, a kidney punch to the class wimp, and quite possibly evidence to be used against you in a court of law. Over a decade of existence and still banging heads, that’s got to tell you something. Most bands don’t make it two years. Some highlights are Open Mind, Deep, Face in the Crowd, the groove riff driven Distortion, and Mob Rules. Yes, I said Mob Rules, as in Ronnie James Dio & Sabbath’s Mob Rules. Killer cover, men.
Most Memorable Moment: Face in the Crowd is definitely a work of art, and sticks out as one of the best listens on the entire cd. Great vocals and musicianship. In my opinion this is the hit single of the record.
Artwork & Packaging: Front cover consists of the Piranah logo, a drawing of the band, the title, and the famous Tipper Gore Advisory warning. The inside booklet has individual member action photos, the who dunnits, and credits. Page 3 is a massive thank you page; these guys got a lot of peeps that they care about. The back page is the lyrics to none other than the title song Orchestrated Noise. The back cover is a listing of songs, and UPC code.
Quality of Recording: This CD was recorded at RW Studios and mastered at Plaid Static Sound. Recording is pro and heavy.
Rating: (Buy It, or Can It)
Buy It!!!
