They have NIN's mastery of technology and Sepultura’s politics, brought from the third world to ours with a pronounced spiritual twist. This four-piece Industrial Metal band from Chicago was formed in 1993 by producer/engineer, drummer, and keyboardist Brian Eaton. North uses technology to the hilt, giving the band its industrial strength rock sound, but there’s more hiding below the surface. North’s vocalist Don Grillo manipulates his voice in unearthly ways, scowling and screaming, drifting into harmonies then laying his soul bare. Bassist Nick Sanzeri knocks the listener flat with intricate bass lines coming up from the depths. Classically trained, Sanzeri is the perfect compliment to Eaton’s rhythmic base. Jon Studtmann has the duty of filling in the high parts with searing guitar work. Equal parts of metal and rock mixed with a style all his own, Studtmann uses his guitar as an emotional Richter scale, reversing the feel of a tune with the changing of a note. Eaton’s samples provide an overall gothic feel to the band’s debut disc, Genocidal World.

"Murder Of The Minds"- Video
"Amazing, why haven't I heard this band on the radio? Amusing Ourselves to Death isn't a new idea = I love this song... " -Plazguitar (YouTube)
“At CD Poster Shop we hear a tremendous amount of
music. North fits well into an established genre except
that the music immediately grabbed everyone in the
room when we tested the CD. So much that we left it
playing and played it again. The band has impeccable
musicianship, interesting song writing and an outstanding
mix. North seems to take a variety of influences and
produce a new dynamic recipe of sound and ideas that
has a whole sound that is greater than its parts."
-Jason Sacks (CD Poster Shop)
