If any of you like sludge/post-metal, you should check out Battle of Mice. They, too, have a crazy female singer, who's also extremely versatile and who reminds me of Agnete.

Animal Alpha er så tragisk. Det er bare skrik og skrål fra ende til annen. Var så uhdelig å se de live på Amandusfestivalen, og da satt middagen ganske høyt opp i halsen. Altså, for å være ærlig, så vil heller blir sperret inn i et polstret rom hvor det spilles Dj Bobo sammnehngende i EN uke, framfor å se en hel konsert med Animal Alpha.
