Not Affected By Pain
FOR THE LOVE OF SUFFERING



For The Love Of Suffering are Jamie Carter on Vocals, Eric Close on Bass, Scott Heumann on Guitar, Jimme Wagley on Guitar and Shannon Laird on Drums.


For The Love Of Suffering hail from the city of grunge, Seattle. But For The Love Of suffering are not a grunge band, but one of the most promising Heavy Metal bands around.


The tracks are : 'Penance', 'In The Face', 'Habitat', 'F.T.L.O.S.', 'The Church Of The Self', 'The Itching And The Burning ', 'Tradition', 'Instigator', and 'Friends and Family'. For The Love Of Suffering have produced one of the finest debut albums I have heard in along time.


From the first ear splitting notes of the opening track 'Penance', till the last few bars of the final track Friends & Family this album has class stamped all over it. However, there are some quieter moments, but most of the time it aggressive, fast with killer riffs. The excellent selfed named track 'F.T.L.O.S.' and the Brilliant 'The Church Of The Self', are just Pure none stop Metal all the way.


There are many comparisons to the mighty Slayer here, even Testament and the gods Metallica, but to be truthfully honest, any criticism in this case would be pointless as the quality of the songs and musicianship out shine any doubts you may have.


Quite simply BUY THIS CD!!
