Album Notes & Community Reviews
The Swedish rap-metal pioneers refine their highly aggressive, politically charged crossover sound with 'Use Your Brain'. The album relies entirely on incredibly heavy, staccato groove-metal riffs heavily synced with Zak Tell's fast-paced, confrontational hip-hop vocal deliveries. The band uses this fiercely abrasive platform to address serious issues of institutional racism and anti-fascism, remaining vital European architects of the nu-metal precursor movement.
