Course of Empire: Infested CD5

"Infested" finds Dallas' Course of Empire at it's thickest, strongest, and 
meanest.  An industrial-powered anger-driven stomp, the song is the first
single from the band's second album "Initiation," and promises a harder-
edged, more aggressive sound.  Backed by the equally intense "Joy" and a
tribally rhythmic cover of Fear's "Let's Have a War," Course of Empire seem
to have evolved from the gothic shadows into a brutal, more electric-
sounding machine.  Well worth your cash, the CD5 also has a nifty Benny 
Goodman-sampled version of "Infested."
