BANDS ON THE RUN-UNSIGNED BANDS UNCOVERED  Review by Gina Achord
Enertia- Law of Three
This band from New York rocks! Their 5 trx cd begings with "The Mirror". Their
singer  Scott Featherstone's vocals remind me a bit of Megadeth's Dave Mustaine. Hard
driving  guitar riffs and pumping rhythms of drums make a good combo. All their songs are
great-  my favorite track would have to be "Child Now Lost". Great hard driving metal. Be
sure to find out more about this band!

THE KOFFIN WEBZINE #20 11/97 Review by Glenn Watson
ENERTIA - "Momentum"
As you all have probably now know there's a band out there in cyberspace that comes
from Albany, New York by the name of Enertia. In the summer of '96 they released their debut e.p called "The Law of Three" which was some of the best  power metal of that year and I didn't think they could get any better after hearing such classics such as "The Mirror" and "Child Now Lost" until, they proved me wrong with Momentum, their latest full length release. This album has everything you could possibly want from a power metal band out of the states. It has crunchy rhythms, speed, powerful and melodic vocals with plenty of time changes and a touch of momentum.
Songs like "Ripped Out", "And So You fall", "You Know" and "Six Weeks" are what makes the album so perfect and classy. You just don't hear riffs and vocals like these anymore, and
ENERTIA has the balls to take the music to the limit. For fans of FLOTSAM &JETSAM/NEVERMORE/ANTHRAX etc...check out Enertia. ~9 bites on the neck

Live review-The Wolf Inn,Syracuse,NY 12/4/97
 I had the distinct pleasure to once again experience the thunderous
   metal machine known as Enertia for a second time at The Wolf Inn in Syracuse, New York on December 4, 1997.
My previous review  gives a historical background on this talented band, as well as outlining their charismatic brand of power metal with a progressive touch, superb musicianship, and energetic performance. The band is relentlessly gigging all over New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.  They also made a recent appearance at the famed Powermad 97 festival in Baltimore.  They are assaulting metal audienceswith grinding grooves from their superbly self produced latest full length CD"Momentum", and well as from their first five song EP "Law Of Three".
             Enertia features the the talents of bassist extraordinaire Joe Paciolla, the frenzied precision drumming of Jeff Daily, the screaming metallic guitar work of dual axemen Roman Singleton and Dave Stafford, and gutsy and powerful vocal talents of frontman Scott Featherstone.  For a band that has been playing together for only two short years, Enertia's tight, well excuted aural onslaught gives the listener the impression that they have been together  for a very long time.
The 50 minute set featured the following tunes:
Ripped Out                            (From "Momentum")
  Walls                                      (From "Momentum")
Weight Of The World           (From "Momentum")
    Victim Of Thought                 (New Unreleased Cut)
   Sever The Wicked                 (From "Momentum")
    Six Weeks                              (From "Momentum")
        Child Now Lost                       (From "Law Of Three")
     You Know                               (From "Momentum")
    Dear God                               (From "Momentum")
From the opening power sequence of "Ripped Out" through the crunch of
closer "Dear God", Enertia displayed an enthusiasm and energy that is
   characteristic of a unique metal act.  The churning rhythm section of Joe Paciolla
and Jeff Daily was nothing short of spectacular.  For those of you who like your
    metal with pounding, "here comes the cavalry" bottom end work, then the speedy,
Steve Harris influenced bass runs of Paciolla and locomotive double bass
     and precision tom-tom, snare and high hat work of Daley will serve your palette
   quite nicely.  The dual axe rhythm work of Singleton and Stafford was perfectly
timed and gave the music its high end power -- a considerable feat since the band
         had some difficulty in hearing themselves in the tiny, cramped, smoked
       filled tavern.  Singleton's neo-classical fretwork erupted with incendiary heat
          during the instumental "Sever The Wicked" -- his guitar work was so
       sensational that an experienced local metal head (who had never heard the
     band before), leaned over to me and said "man, I have not seen fret burning like
         that in a long time".  Stafford excuted intricate rhythm work flasslessly,
             and also cranked out some tasty lead work on "Six Weeks".
             Featherstone's vocals were gutsy and vibrant over the metal mayhem.
        He sings with a snarling, yet melodic midrange, which fits power cuts like
        "Weight Of The World" and "Dear God" like a glove.  However, he also
    showcased his smoother, upper end range on the more intricate cuts like exquisite
          "Six Weeks" and the superb new composition, "Victim Of Thought".
              It was a dazzling experience for me, and I was sincerely pumped up
    when during the performance, Scott announced that "this one's dedicated to Dom"
     and the band cranked into "Child Now Lost" -- one of my personal favorites.   I
          was able to chat with the band before and after the performance.  It is
      clear to me that they clearly love to play their music with energy and abandon,
       much to the delight of their fans and the crowd.  They are very humble about
     their accomplishments, which includes the astoundingly produced, packaged, and
      played independent CD's referred to above.  Enertia is clearly a hard working,
          no nonsense metal outfit with extraordinary playing ability and great
     attitude towards music, metal, the fans, and themselves.  They possess that extra
        charismatic presence which should entitle them to enter that next level of
         heavy metal -- signing on with a quality label.  The question is not "Why
        aren't these guys signed up", but rather the real question will be, "When
                will these guys get signed up by a smart metal label?"
Dom C.
