Caught Up In The Gears Of Application

2016 album by this heavy-hitting metal band featuring Philip Anselmo of Pantera/Downd and members of Eyehategod, Warbeast, 16 Horsepower, etc. Formerly Superjoint Ritual, Superjoint's Caught up in the Gears of Application is true to the band's style musically, whilst lyrically it is a palpable bird-finger to anything and everything that stifles freedom of expression, especially in music. Superjoint was resurrected in 2015 after the original band broke up a decade earlier. At the behest of the now deceased Corey Mitchell (co-founder of The Housecore Records Horror Film Festival), Superjoint founders Philip H. Anselmo, Jimmy Bower and Kevin Bond teamed up with longtime associates from numerous musical endeavors, Steve Taylor and Jose Blue Gonzalez to reform the band. Mitchell's idea worked brilliantly, as the band members found much joy in playing together, and new material followed shortly thereafter. Caught Up In The Gears of Application is true to the style of the original-a vicious mix of Hardcore, Heavy Metal and New Orleans-style angst.
