Color Trip was a North Rhine-Westphalian crossover band from Hagen , which was founded in 1988 under the name Accessory and dissolved around 2002.

history

After the band was founded under the name Accessory in 1988 and released an album in 1992, they changed their name to Color Trip. After the self-titled debut album was released on Massacre Records in 1993, the band went on tour with Nuclear Assault . Since the band lost their record deal with Massacre Records, the second album GroundLevelSexType was released via Armageddon Records . At the beginning of 1995 the group went on tour together with Pro-Pain . Color Trip also played on this in Brussels . When someone watched Arabs steal t-shirts from the band bus, the band chased them. The thieves set the clothes on fire. After the band joined them, more gang members armed with baseball bats showed up, which is why Color Trip had to flee to the club where they had previously played. In 1995 the album Full-Time Function was released , which was recorded in the Woodhouse Studio . In 1999 the band moved to the USA before Kill My Super Ego was released in the summer of 2002 . After the dissolution of Color Trip, the singer Elmar Keineke and the guitarist Mark Wolzenburg founded the band The Wrath Project together with other members.

style

According to Holger Stratmann in the Rock Hard Encyclopedia , the band still played normal death metal on the Accessory album before they incorporated more industrial rock influences with the name change and turned to groove metal from the third album . In his review of the self-titled debut album, Frank Albrecht from Rock Hard noted that death metal influences were still audible. On the album, the band mixes death metal riffs with fast passages, hip-hop influences and a bit of industrial . However, the English used is not always accent-free, which Albrecht found embarrassing. According to Jan Jaedike, the band plays on GroundLevelSexType Industrial Death Metal, which is very groove- oriented. In addition, the band relies on melodic singing for the first time. In terms of instruments, the band orientates itself on the crossover. In his review of Full-Time Function , Albrecht noted that the style change that accompanies every album was hardly present with this sound carrier. However, the music is more aggressive than before. The riffs are hard and the vocals are angry, hateful and hardcore punk-like . The speed of the songs would often slide into very fast ranges. Albrecht called the music metalcore . Wolf-Rüdiger Mühlmann from Rock Hard recommended the album Kill My Super Ego to friends of Thrash Metal and Metalcore. He drew a comparison to the band Pro-Pain and also stated that the band was influenced by groups like Anthrax , Kreator and the thrash metal boom in the San Francisco Bay Area of the 1980s. The playing speed of the songs is usually very high.

Tim Wölke from Metal Hammer described the music on GroundLevelSexType as crossover metal. The songs on the album are often monotonous and Wölke described the singing as "barking", which "really pisses you off after the fourth song at the latest". Matthias Mineur from the same magazine also noted the "constant rabid barking" in his review of Full-Time Function . The music is no longer up-to-date and without innovation.
