Danza III is an absolute tour-de-force that doesn't rely on blast beats to be an absolute face melter. It's like the bastard offspring of The Red Chord, Meshuggah and Pantera. Expect complex riffage and kick-drum patterns punctuated with Dillinger Escape Plan worthy high end discordance and then fear as you're pummelled with frequencies not usually heard outside drone metal. Sure, there's the odd sense of riff déjà-vu here and there but there's way too many finely crafted songs and soul crushing riffs to let that be an issue.
Grab the album but if you need something to sweeten the deal you can grab the track "Sammy Jenkins" courtesy of Metal Injection here or check out Danza's myspace.
Score: 9/10
