"Being a good, respectful sacramento hard rock/industrial fan, I decided to check out the local scene a bit and buy the new LUXT CD. I figured that since they weren't very popular and weren't on a major label yet, I shouldn't expect too much. I was dead wrong. Nearly every song on this techno/industrial/new metal album is awesome, with a great melody and hard hitting riffs. Don't be fooled by the female singer, she is very talented, and the songs are even better when the guitarist lends his static Xish voice in the songs. I think this band has a future, so buy this album now so you can say that you were down with LUXT before anyone else was!"

Luxt spreads out the noise

"Luxt is virtually unheard of act that really deserves to break out. This release may help them out with that. CHROMASEX MONKEYDRIVE finds the band pounding the same industrial machine as their previous release RAZING EDEN (Which is without a doubt their best work) but has them venturing out into other territoies that may get them some attention.Much harder and more aggressive than their last effort this should find favor with the crowd who have embraced the "new" heavy metal scene such as SNAPCASE and SLIPKNOT but this will also find fans who enjoy melodies and challenging lyrics as well. Still machine based music but with a harder more refined edge, the monkeydrive hits the spot. Though some industrial "purists" will bemoan the move towards mainstream I think it will find them a wider audience they richly deserve."
