Gorilla Manor is the début album from Silver Lake five-piece Local Natives. The album saw its U.K release on the 2nd of November 2009, and its U.S release on the 16th of February 2010.

It’s interesting to hear an album from places in the world that you wouldn’t normally expect a metal album to be created.  I don’t mean that to sound narrow minded, but to hear an album with the quality of production and arrangement that Need from Greece have put their name to, I wonder if there’s [...]

Bell and Dino Cazares had well and truly stitched up their wounds and reformed Fear Factory, being the band’s two key components.
