Influenced by Black Label Society, Dream Theater, C.O.C., Metallica, Sevendust, Velvet Revolver, and Disturbed, Side Chain's music suggests a more progressive and punishing version of the "Sabbath sound". Scott's devastating riffs, snarling Hetfield-esque vocal, and intricate Schultz / Hammett / Iommi soloing style give Side Chain's music a brutally bone-crushing, yet textured, melodic and intelligent, sound.
What makes Side Chain's music so attractive and unique is that anyone can obtain it (legally) for free - no strings attached. In fact, the band's debut album, "Drone Manifesto," which was initially released on 21 December 2007 (and re-released on 10 August 2008), is available for you to download completely free here at last.fm, as well as at mp3.com, download.com, and garageband.com.
