SLAVES ON DOPE Inches From the Mainline

Album · 2000 · Nu Metal

Slaves on Dope originally began as more of a grunge/hard alternative type band, but by the time they signed to Sharon Osbourne's semi-major label, they had decided to jump aboard the then-lucrative nu/alt metal bandwagon, which was at its absolute zenith during the year 2000. The grunge influence isn't completely gone on this album though, the vocalist Jason Rockman still has that deep, twangy style of singing people associate with the genre, but aside from that, this is totally nu metal. The riffs are sludgy, there are slight industrial/hip hop undertones and Rockman has a bipolar good cop/bad cop thing going on. In terms of instrumentation, this aligns closest to Korn, although, as alluded to earlier, the vocalist doesn't sound like Jon Davis or other typical nu metallers.

There are a few flashes of brilliance on the more melodic tracks (such as "No More Faith", "Fallout" and the title track), but the chuggier stuff like "Bitch Slap", "Thanks For Nothing" and "Stick It Up" just sort of blends together and is easily forgotten (yet I wouldn't those tracks terrible any means).

SOD's American debut "Inches from the Mainline" failed to garner much mainstream attention, due to the fact that its wannabe tuff guy nu metal sound was being done to death by other major label bands during the 2000-2001 era. They returned in 2003 with "Metafour", which has very little of that bipolar nu metal thing going on. It is more of an attempt at a generic early 2000s melodic rock album (though it is worth noting that nearly EVERY nu metal band was doing the exact same thing around this time). The music on this is best described as some sort of cross between the angsty mainstream rock of Linkin Park and the quirky lyrical and vocal stylings of Faith No More.
