Talk about being in the right place at the right time -- the way Long Beach, CA metallists
Droid got signed was by playing a show at the
Whisky-A-Go-Go, which was attended by
Korn guitarist
Munky. It just so happened that the man known for his admiration of seven-string guitars was also scouting bands to sign to his about-to-be-launched label,
Emotional Syphon Recordings, and
Droid was the first act to get the nod (and as an added bonus, getting to tour with
Korn before having any recordings in the shops). Which brings us to their 2007 self-titled debut -- with none other than
Munky serving as "executive producer." With all these
Korn-konnections, it shouldn't come as a surprise that
Droid's sound at times reflects their big brothers during their irate moments -- but they're more of a straight-ahead
metal band (few artsy fartsy bits reside here). In fact, judging by such ditties as the album opening
"The Resurrection" and
"God of Anger," the quintet isn't bashful in breaking out the
death metal (especially the group's growler/screamer,
James "Buddy" Eason). And wouldn't you know it, another
Korn-approved pal drops by for a bit --
Deftones' singer
Chino Moreno -- on the bash n' rager,
"Vengeance Is Mine." This is one
Droid whose power supply appears to be bubbling over with anger.

Droid humble, nice and angry
Met Droid at Family Values Tour and they are true to the fans! Very nice guys, despite the in your face, raw angry emotional lyrics. Love this album from start to finish. Also I suggest to buy the dvd!

What to say other then it's just good music
Droid is just right in your face metal. With bad ass guitar riffs backed by some sweet drumming and a front man with some killer vocals you can't go wrong. This album is one of the few that I can listen to from start to finish without getting bored of it. If you don't have the debut album from Droid you are really missing out!!!!!!!!!
