Reviews DIESEL MACHINE - TORTURE TEST - SPV I can already see these four Neanderthals on stage. Bouncing up and down, adorned with multiple standard issue ear, nose and penis rings and major label baggy pants playing 500 staccato riffs in front of a bunch of closet MTV 'fans'. It's a sorry picture, but talk is of Pantera/Machine Head/bounce rock here not metal. These muthafukkas are already 5 years too late with their tougher-than-thou play by the numbers; with this style of bouncing hardcore having already come and gone with nary a survivor - five year old hand me down bermudas excepted. The only surprise is the presence of present and former members of MSG, Uli Jon Roth, Yngwie Malmsteen and Rob Halford here. Talk about the fifth column! Whatever the affiliation, I can already see these guys cloth in hand at the local car wash in the near future - God knows they are already wearing the uniforms. Torture Test is as real and convincing as George Bush's environmental plan. - Ali "The Metallian"
