HEAVENLY TRIP TO HELL (via Sonicbids Promotions) have some influences that trace back to SOULFLY or MACHINE HEAD when they were more 'Nu' than 'Thrash' sounding. H.T.T.H. are interesting - to say the least - by combining a terrible Hardcore vocal style with Nu sounding music, hurrah for my ears. They started in 1996 in Long Beach, California and have released 2 EPs and 1 DVD as well as the current full-length. They have opened for SOULFLY and BODY COUNT in their area as well as playing Voodoo Fest in New Orleans. Overall I find the vocal style to be pretty intolerable. It is nothing but distorted screaming, no thanks. I hear some Nu Metal elements as well as some hardcore and maybe just tiniest tinge of Thrash, while nothing fantastic at least it's slightly different. No Way Out has a pretty nice bass line, however the Nu metal screaming just drives me so fricking nuts that it is just listen able after this point. I would recommend this to fans of OTEP primarily since I hear lot of what they are currently doing, which is what bands were doing like 8 years ago. There might be some talent tucked away in this music, but the vocals make it so awful. I hope that the singer takes my words seriously and does something with his vocals since they are so one-dimensional.
