Welcome to album review Tuesdays and tonight I am reviewing a new album I just got in the mail last week, I talked about this band in last weeks episode of Metal Album Warfare Fridays, Superjoint Ritual-A Lethal Dose Of American Hatred. Released in 2003 on Sanctuary Records. Now the line-up on this album is as follows
►Philip Anselmo Vocals, Guitars
►Jimmy Bower Guitars (4-string Sonex)
►Kevin Bond Guitars (stunt)
►Hank Williams III Bass
►Joe Fazzio Drums

So now that you have some background history of Superjoint Ritual let’s get into the review
So the album opens with sickness which begins with an awesome southern groove sludge fest with some slow paced drumming and amazing bass riffing from Hank Williams III this sludge groove affair eventually turns into some faster paced Crossover thrash and hardcore punk. The southern country rock influence from Hank Williams III is fully apparent here as well and serves as a bridge between the sludge metal and the thrash metal ingredients. Emotionally this is a very convincing track as well as its all about heroin addiction and withdrawl etc etc. This was when Phil was beginning to get clean and a lot of the lyricism on this album is all about that. Killer opening track

Next up is “Waiting For The Turning Point” and this 1:28 seconds of pure crossover brutality with a little bit of a death metal element going on. Its fast, punishing and aggressively sonic and it certainly is a memorable track I just wish it was a bit longer but when some of the album is hardcore punk? This is the formula that comes with it, fast heavy short and to the point and it’s a great fucking song as well.

Next up is “Dress Like A Target” and this one opens with some really intense tom work and snare with some great kick drum action before it explodes into a full on thrash metal assault on all of your senses with of course Phillip Anselmo screaming like a madman about society and generations all being fucking sheep and how we all need to “Dress Like A Target” and why we cannot trust people who all look the same which I completely agree with, at least from a corporate standpoint and it works really well at conveying phils rage and aggression towards modern society and life in general. The guitar work, bass and drums all work together to create a flawless sense of realism and passion that makes this one of the standouts on the record. Another killer brutal song here.

Next up we have the slower paced “The Destruction Of A Person” this is a downward spiral into deep dark depression and drug riddled psychosis and it’s the story all about Phil and his friends using heroin but also about how his friend almost died. The destruction of a person builds character indeed and the instrumentation works well to convey this sludgy drug fueled atmosphere that phil is conveying through his lyricism and overall delivery and I really love this fucking song a lot and its one of my favorites on the album.

Next up is Personal Insult and here we get a full on groovy sludge fest combined with some of the best drum work on the album that also incorporates some industrial metal elements and also really fast thrashing with some of the most memorable hook inducing riffs on the record. This one is all about the abuse of ones self through drug use and overall destructive tendencies and the instrumentation really helps to conveys deep regrets, and depression on this album. But it also has some deep dark country influences of course coming from Hank Williams III as well and it’s a really flawless combination of styles at play here and I think it adds a lot of depth to this album for sure.
