Album: “Trapt [Edited]”

Description

Trapt: Chris Brown (vocals, guitar); Simon Ormandy (guitar); Peter Charell (bass); Aaron Montgomery (drums). <p>Recorded at the Warehouse Studios, Vancouver, British Columbia. <p>This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. <p>Bridging the gap between nu metal and alternative hard rock, Trapt capitalize on the momentum of said genres early-'00s success with their self-titled major label debut. With roots that reach to early-'90s hard rock (Metallica/Soundgarden) and branch into contemporary music (311, Hoobastank, Korn), TRAPT offers a diverse rock palette. Control room whiz/creative speller GGGarth (Rage Against The Machine, Chevelle) dials in chunky low-register guitar tones and punchy drum sounds that convey Trapt's songs with the perfect balance of polish and grit. Radio-made single "Headstrong," catchy-as-hell "Still Frame," and the metallic Foo Fighters-riffy "Hollowman" are the album's obvious standout tracks.
