Transmaniacon take the blueprint and soundworld laid down by Bloodrock, Mountain, Steppen-wolf, Blue Oyster Cult and Alice Cooper, and add a hefty slab of dark doom, hard riffs, punk attitude and stoner metal to ramp it up for the the 21st century. The vibe is steeped in 70's rock, but the sound is definitely 'NOW' from the Sabbathian sludge of 'City of Chaos' to the Dead Kennedy-esque 'An Eye for An Eye' and the stoner moves of 'Chasing the Insane' the album is shot through with twists and choc.
