I would label this genre modern thrash. Oil released 1 EP, 1 LP & a live album from 1997-2004 before calling it quits based on my recollection. The most recent project by the band members is a little known band called Blankenstein. Their vocalist Ron Rinehart was in mainstream thrash band Dark Angel back in the late 80s, early 90s. Their 2000 release Refine was a mainstay in my CD collection that year. Kalubone Records released several hard to find bands that I have music from all of them of course. Also, check out Scott Waters of nolifetilmetal fame for his review of the band. I was stationed in South Korea that previous year and had a really hard time dealing with stuff over there & do not wish to hark back ever again on those experiences. Hence why this SOTD quickly became my fave from the short lived band. Check ’em out if you haven’t already & the lyrics below.
…Life…
(Spoken) Living in this world, sometimes I struggle
There’s sometimes when I’m feeling distant
Sometimes I feel I cannot cope
Don’t try to push on me what you believe
Do you preach His love or speak your law?
I feel the hate that you struggle with
And now try to push on me
You will never understand that I have been set free
Christ is my everything
Christ is my everything
Christ is my everything
When I’m not around, you point your finger
When I walk away, you roll your eyes
You think you’re so perfect, like you’re the righteous one
When you were made, He broke the mold
