STRAPPING
YOUNG
LAD
–
1994-2006
Chaos
Years
Not
enough
people
are
aware
of this
Metal
powerhouse
which
exploded
from
Canada
in the
mid-‘90s.
Unfortunately
they
called
it a
day,
but
I’m
sure
frontman
and
mastermind
Devin
Townsend
will
have
some
great
projects
coming
up set
to yet
again
change
the
world
perception
of what
“Metal”
is (as
he’s
been
doing
with
his
solo
releases
in tandem
with
SYL).
So,
if you’ve
never
heard
of Strapping
Young
Lad
(which
consists
of four
guys
by the
way),
this
is your
chance
to experience
the
majestic,
technically
brilliant,
and
heavy-as-hell
intensity
of this
killer
band
in one
package.
Each
of the
five
albums
consists
of a
maniacal
collection
of superb
songs,
making
selection
for
this
17-track
slab
of history
quite
hard.
You
also
get
track-specific
notes
from
the
band
on each
track
in the
album
sleeve.
This
is timeless
Metal
at its
best,
and
if you
missed
out
on seeing
SYL’s
killer
