Luti-Kriss' 5ep on Pluto Records -- I know what you're saying, 'Why the heck is Luti-Kriss in the Pick of the Litter, and since when did they record a new album?' Well, honestly, neither of those things will stand after you're done reading this brief, re-issue announcement. Let's go all the way back to the summer of '99 -- Pluto Records, a Dallas/Fort Worth based record label, released a split EP containing tracks from the bonecrushing veterans Travail, and previously unheard of Luti-Kriss. Well, here we are back a little over a year later and that previously-unheard-of is now headlining a show coming to your town soon. As far as a review for the CD goes, this is a no-brainer for anyone who can appreciate real music with heavy drop D tuning and uncontrollable urges to scream your head off. While this is still the same EP from a year ago, it's now remixed and revamped, and you will be completely satisfied with this compact disc purchase.

Best described as nearly-chaotic hardcore/metal full of furious riffs, thick bass, and solid beats, this band is tight. Add some obvious Deftones influences, and some emotional rapping/screaming/singing/spoken words by lead throat Josh, and you get some surprisingly good music.…Dead Zine 1999Reviewed by FletchIf you liked Travail's Anchor of My Soul cd, this is a must. Both bands pump out extreme "pimpcore." If you've been wondering where the Christian stuff is that sounds like Korn and Limp Bizkit, look no further. Luti-Kriss, although young, have a mature sound. Not only is their music good, but their message is solid as well. There's no mistaking where these guys are coming from. The lyrics are…Similar sounding releases
