In its press materials, the Detroit sleaze metal band Zug Izland described its songcraft as "an exploration of imperfect human morality brought forth through the imagery of a pure fantasy." Maybe so, but the combo's origin as the backup band for <a href="spotify:artist:4xtWjIlVuZwTCeqVAsgEXy">Insane Clown</a> person <a href="spotify:artist:02WFRlMwbZO6QfBJgZRNFa">Violent J</a> was a better indicator of sound and intent. Led by vocalist Syn, Zug also included sometime-<a href="spotify:artist:4xtWjIlVuZwTCeqVAsgEXy">ICP</a> producer Mike P on guitar, drummer Little Pig, keys man Dan Miller, and bassist B Nestor, who quickly replaced original bassist Guido Milligan. Naming itself after a decaying industrial site in Detroit, the quintet settled into the Psychopathic Records family and began contributing here and there to others' tracks while writing its debut with <a href="spotify:artist:02WFRlMwbZO6QfBJgZRNFa">J</a>. Zug also stole the show at the 2002 Gathering of the Juggalos. Cracked Tiles, their full-length debut, finally appeared in January 2003. The band supported it with an aggressive round of touring, including dates with the like-minded NYC rap-metal unit <a href="spotify:artist:7fWgqc4HJi3pcHhK8hKg2p">Dope</a>. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi
