Inner Thought was a Canadian death and industrial metal band from Toronto that was formed in 1989 and disbanded around 1999.
history
After the band Slaughter broke up, guitarist Bojan "Bobby" Sadzak decided to found Inner Thought in 1989. The line-up was complemented by singer Kelly Montico and guitarist Roland Murray. Then the EP Disorder of Battles was released in 1993 via Witchhunt Records . In the USA the EP was released on Dwell Records with a slightly different look . The same label also invited the band to take part in a tribute sampler in honor of Celtic Frost . In 1994 the debut album Worldly Separation was released , on which the line-up consists of the singer Dennis Balesdent and the guitarist Roland Murray. Instead of a drummer, a drum computer could be heard. A concert was held in Toronto for the release, which also included Kataklysm and Cryptopsy . The second and last album was released in 1995 under the name Perspectives . The album was recorded with producer Mark Peters in the Metalworks studio . In 1999 the remix CD Is There Hope amid the Ruins was released by Utopian Vision Music , which was actually a demo of the band from 1993. The release of a third album was also planned for the same label. However, it was previously dissolved.
style
Joel McIver wrote in his book Extreme Metal II that the band plays Death Metal and, like The Sisters of Mercy, uses a drum computer. The music is not necessarily popular with death metal fans, but fans of industrial metal who are bored with Nine Inch Nails or early Marilyn Manson may be interested in Inner Thought. Robert Müller of the Metal Hammer felt when listening to Worldly Separation of Comecon Megatrends in Brutality recalls, as it refers "the same distancing position on the contemporary death metal" by "drum machine, apocalyptic guitar structures [and] very slight Industrial insets conditions influencing the fate" . In terms of sound, it sounds "graying" and oppressive. Martin Popoff wrote in his book The Collector's Guide of Heavy Metal Volume 3: The Nineties about Worldly Separation that it was grim and deadly serious death metal. He also described the music as a sluggish, peculiar and demanding mixture of death and industrial metal. In addition to the drum computer, he noticed the use of samples . The album is dedicated to the victims of the war in Yugoslavia . Perspectives offers industrial-based Death Metal that sounds more pungent and progressive than before. The listener is taken on a journey into the depths of political and personal suffering. Popoff found the music too aloof and gloomy to be enjoyed.
