Reader Joseph Daniel Salas suggested we check out Locracy from Vienna. I was in Vienna for about four days once, and it’s a beautiful city, even with the rampant skinhead population. I went to some giant-ass club/party thing that ran all along the river and had a hell of a time.

Unfortunately, Locracy – whose name is, as far as I can tell, a complete nonsense word – sound almost exactly like Germany’s Heaven Shall Burn, except not nearly as good. I mean, this band isn’t incompetent or anything – in fact, the riff from their song “From Cave to Grave” is thoroughly headbangable – but I wish they at least put some effort into giving originality a shot, y’know?

Check out Locracy here and then let Joe D-S know whatcha think in the comments section below.
