Violent Work Of Art

Violent Work Of Art have been around awhile, with releases of various forms as far back as 1995, though several of those releases are of the demo variety. Reviewed here is 2005's The Worst Is Yet To Come, apparently the CD release combining the demo of the same name along with an earlier demo entitled C.O.M.A.. The style is the now-familiar techno-industrial sound, with driving guitars, well-programmed drums, and assorted keyboard/sound-effect flourishes. The vocals are a bit harsh, Magnus Karlsson pretty much violently screaming at the top of his lungs throughout, rendering some of the songs a bit monotonous. There's potential here, with this genre established but still growing, but a different vocal approach (or, at least, a toning down of the current approach) would help.
