BCC is headed up by D.D. Verni, bassist and founding member of New York thrash metal crew Overkill, which of course spells depleted punk soil and a little bit of kidding around in this band’s first LP in 5 years. The kidding-around part this time – they did a version of ‘Free Bird’ once – is a rip of Queen’s ‘Death On Two Legs’, which, as is wont to happen with bands like this, is a welcome curveball, not that their bread and butter sound (power metal with a Frank Zappa-sounding singer) is as annoying as what the main body of Dimebag ripoffs are doing nowadays. They’ve got a sense of humour, is what I’m saying, to go with things like the Rammstein-ish ‘I Never Loved You Anyway’, which jibes with their claim that they’re into goth, at least in the areas of industrial-metal grind (the creepy organ is a bonus), growled vocals and being mean to chicks.
