THE JOY OF GUNZ is the first album of the Icon Of Coil's singer, Andy La Plegua. If you are thinking of this CD as an e.b.m album with melodic tunes, well: forget it. THE JOY OF GUNZ is rough and full of industrial sounds. We can virtually divide the CD in two parts: the tracks with Andy's vocals and the ones without them. The difference on some cases is slighty perceived, as there are only few melodic lines and the rest is based on a techno rhythmical approach. Try to think about it as an e.b.m. / industrial / techno freak and be ready for a real assault with really few moments without tension and buzzing sounds. Also the vocals, where present, have got the function of brain washing the listener as they repeat few alienating concepts. The tracks don't present a wide tange of solutions but this seems to be what Andy wanted it to be: raw and rude.
