The American quintet Unjust's third album entitled "Glow" appears through Kool Arrow Records - the U.S.-based record company owned by Billy Gould (ex-Faith No More) [Editor's note: European release through Copro Records]. However, in case you're expecting some music close to the one of label-mates like the (m)extremists Brujeria, or the Russian punksters Naive, or the Balkan punk-folk rockers Kultur Shock, you'll be disappointed. On the other hand, if you’re fond of Faith No More's last couple of offerings (especially “Album of the Year”), then I guess this one’s for you. Developing the elements off the previous two works, "Thin Line Emotions" (1999) and "Makeshift" (2001), Unjust's new piece of music delivers a pleasant breed of, let's say, P.O.D. and Mike Patton's aforementioned legendary and unfortunately disbanded group. In other words - a melodic nu-metal record worth listening to. Vocalist Paul Mendoza’s clean singing is quite impressive; the same is valid for his companions’ musicianship - guitarist Mike Merino, bass player Eric Wong, keyboarder Thom Tucker and drummer Brian Palkowski. The synths inclusion to the songs is also a great idea, especially in "Falling" - probably the most outstanding piece on this album, very suitable for a shoot-off single. The only problem seems to be the lack of a bit more variety, but the overall sounding and feeling compensate this fact. All in all, a modern U.S. metal release that has something new to offer.
