C-187 Collision CD (2007)

Dutch groove metal doesn't get nearly enough credit, and C-187 are exactly the kind of band that should have been bigger.

Collision, released in 2007, sits in that satisfying pocket where Pantera's rhythmic brutality meets the clinical heaviness of early-2000s European metal, tight, mechanised, and mean. C-187 built a following in the Netherlands on the back of relentless touring and this kind of no-frills, full-throttle output. If your record collection has a gap between the American groove metal staples and your Fear Factory shelf, this fills it with something worth revisiting.

Format: CD. Full-length album. Netherlands, 2007 pressing. Genre: Groove Metal.

Fans of: Pantera, Fear Factory, Chimaira.
