Quintessence Metal Webzine – February 2002
Menza- "Life After Deth" (2002 Menza Music)
If you assumed this was ex-Megadeth drummer Nick Menza, you're absolutely correct. Nick does 85% of the music on this...yes, guitars (even lead), drums, bass and programming as well as subliminal messages put in the songs by intention. Helping on the album is lead guitarist Christian Nesmith on a few tracks and is a staple with Nick at the moment if they happen to take this on the road; more explained in the interview. The drumming, as you would expect, is incredible and the ideas Nick uses. Despite the vocals aren't really fantastic or his lead-work, which he admits, the rhythms, subliminal messages and futuristic type ideas make this an all-out original. Only two other people remind me of what one person can do within the confines of their own studios and that would be Trent Reznor and Devin Townsend. All 3 of these have great minds and take boundaries to limits unknown and always are fresh with new ideas. Thirteen (13) tracks, with a hidden bonus track as well, definitely something new for the ears to partake in.
