Long overdue review of Tepetricy’s ‘Shaking the Rust Internally’

Tepetricy’s first release, ‘Shaking the Rust Internally’ has remained underground for too long. Since it’s release in 2007, it hasn’t received much attention. However, since the end of the summer, they had an unbelievable promotional push that put the music video in movie theaters all across the U.S. for over 2 months. Now the masses are finally noticing what the band is all about. Tepetricy has landed opening slots for heavy hitters DOPE, Soil, Powerman 5000 (Spider the lead singer being Rob Zombie’s nephew), and Flaw in 2009. With all of this attention, emurg.com, a midwest music review site, decided to review the album. Check out the review along with all the other interesting write-ups they offer as well.

Going rather cinematic, but with a touch of 17th Century harmonies and sounds… Should be fun!
