Skrew(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Forget about the fact that SKREW's 1992 release Burning In Water, Drowning In Flame was hailed by SPIN Magazine as "the future of industrial noise" and was the biggest selling debut ever on Metal Blade Records.
Oh yeah, and don't wait for us to tell you that SKREW's 1996 release Shadow Of Doubt earned SKREW a very rare second appearance at Holland's world renowned Dynamo Festival, or that SKREW's appearance inspired MTV Europe to invite the band to perform two songs live in the studio for a repeated broadcast.
SKREW vomit forth all the pollution and poison that the fathers are afraid to confront.
The band rose from the ashes of crossover thrash band Angkor Wat, of which Grossman and Lohner were members.
There have been several unconfirmed rumors of a possible Skrew reformation in the years since the band's break-up, but none of them have yet to come true.
Skrew is referenced in the Wesley Willis song "Skrew"

RockNet Album Review: Skrew's "Shadow Of Doubt"(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
The first cut is called "She Said." It starts with some circus-sounding keyboards and guitar.
There is no mercy in the world of Skrew.
All the Skrew songs start with cool samples and then morph into a killer attitude.

Skrew - "Shadow Of Doubt"(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Personally I think that Skrew have done very well musically, but I can't say the same about the vocals.
Having said that, nothing stands in the way of people who like their bit of industrial metal to go out and grab this one, but I doubt it will do much outside of those quarters...
Let's see on their upcoming tour what Skrew is capable of live...
Fans flocking the shows and streets in t-shirts emblazoned with the slogan, "Get Skrewed!" An album of sleezy rockers and cheesy ballads with the sure-to-sell-a-million title, "Wanna Skrew?" (that is, if they were to resort to disrespectful, 80's hair band, "Open-Up-And-Say-Aah" innuendos, which fortunately they have too much integrity to do).
And while some background music often enhances the emotion trappings of the scene it is to accompany, these are the types of tunes that lulled this listener into a type of attention deficit disorder - after a while, you don't even notice they are there.
I can understand why fans of Skrew would perhaps be bothered with this review, flooding me with e-mails stating, "You're Skrewed." No one likes to see her or his favorites pooped on.
Amazon.com: Angel Seed XXIII: Music: Skrew(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
After releasing its fierce, unrelenting debut Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame in 1992, Texas band Skrew looked set to revamp the face of industrial metal.
Instead of building songs around feral guitar blasts and monochromatic electro-beats, the band now alternates textures and tempos, augmenting its sound with a live drummer, and a sparser, but more effective arsenal of samples.
It's not that Shadow of Doubt and Angel Seed XXIII are necessarily BAD albums, for any other band they'd be good, but for Skrew they're horrible.
Defective Skrew is an Indie Rock/Punk band that was formed in 1994 but didn't really come to fruision till 1997, and are still currently playing live in the NY area and finishing up a brand new EP.
The music is plain and simple, rockin', catchy', to the point, and The Skrew just wants you to have a good time.
Predating many '90s competitors, Skrew deserve credit for hopping on the bandwagon early and helping to forge the punishing guitar and drum attack of '90s industrial-metal
