Children of Technology - It's Time to Face the Doomsday

Children of Technology
It's Time to Face the Doomsday
2010 Hells Headbangers
Italy's Children of Technology are a crusty punk crossover type band (metalpunk?) that lies somewhere at the crossroads of Carnivore, Voivod's first two albums, and Discharge. This band of four nuclear mutants have unleashed their post-apocalyptic fury on the underground wasteland. Anyone see a theme here? As much as the aforementioned bands are an influence on CoT, it's safe to say that Mad Max (especially "The Road Warrior") is an even bigger influence. I have a feeling that Children of Technology watched that movie until they could quote it word for word, and did the same with similar '80s flicks like "The Exterminator," "Red Dawn," "The New Barbarians," and a host of straight to video B-movies based on the adventures of a lone hero after a nuclear holocaust. This is the sort of music that is meant for vinyl and cassette releases. Listening to it on CD or as mp3s is almost a criminal offense. Suffice to say, if you're at all into unwashed bands sporting liberty spikes or huge mohawks, who wear vests and jackets adorned with crudely printed patches and play a contemporary form of anarcho-punk, then this is for you!
