mankind review from tribal rock company:

If your like me, you like your music, raw and aggresive. And if thats how you like your music, you like, or would like Factory 81. With their debut cd, "Mankind", The set a standard for emotional metal. The song "Nanu" gives the cd an already great start, followed by the extremely truthful song "Peace Officer" about a real life experience the bands singer and friends went through one night. I can't really explain why I like this band so much. But the best answer I can give you is, they are honest in their music and lyrics, nothing is held back. And that is rare in todays music scene. Tracks like "Beligerence" and "Diary of a Serial Killer" complete the cds wide range of musical capabilitys. If this cd is not on your rack I suggest you pick it up on your next trip to the cd store.

score: 5/5
