CHINO announces debut CD, The Clockwork Sabotage




An up-and-coming Icelandic band with an unfortunate name, have just finished their debut release slated to hit the street in July. CHINO is one of the most promising and surprising acts in Icelandic extreme music these days. Hailing from isolated no-scene village of Egilsstaðir, I keep shaking my head at the fact this type of band thrives in that sort of environment. I tip my hat. Expect loud and crashing melting pot of current sounding European "screamo" meets later day Poison The Well with some metalcore leanings from the left. Performed with conviction, these guys obviously practice hard and have come a long way in the playing department. The studio performance is air-tight. I'm baffled by this band's existence and progression.
