City Of God - A New Spiritual Mountain

Here's another album I know absolutely nothing about. I think I stumbled across it because the band name is the same as a movie that the filthy critic enjoyed and that I put on my blockbuster queue. Doing a quick google search turns up some other reviews that tells me this is a UK supergroup formed from former members of Kill II This, Xentrix, and Paradise Lost... I've heard Paradise Lost, heard of Xentrix, and have not heard of Kill II This. Seems like this album was released in 2005, but a link to their bandpage isn't functioning, so perhaps the band didn't last.

This is actually really good. Imagine if Fear Factory didn't suck and didn't bore the listener to death. The opening tracks are heavy and enjoyable. The title track is kind of weak, but gets going again with the following song Prisms. For the most part, A New Spiritual Mountain stays interesting throughout the entire listen.
