Technocracy
Technocracy was the latest progression for guitarist Phil Demmel,
who previously served in
Torque and
before that in
Vio-lence.
Demmel's thrash roots can be heard on Technocracy's self-titled,
self-released debut album, but they are not really a thrash band.
Instead, their sound is a fusion of post-thrash heavy riffing,
surprisingly melodic yet forceful vocals, and subtle electronic
effects, yielding a relatively unique and quite interesting album.
Quite polished for a self-financed debut, Technocracy looked set
to build for the future.
Instead, however, they called it quits in April of 2003, citing
burnout and a desire to move on.
Demmel was briefly in the reunited
Vio-lence and
now has joined
Machine Head,
while at least some of the other members will no doubt pursue new
projects in the future.
