Still Suffering |Tooth & Nail Records, 1995|
1. Time, 2. Downside, 3. Burning, 4. Scarified, 5. Deceived, 6. Animosity, 7. Fall, 8. Disease, 9. Leave, 10. Woodensoul
It's what industrial metal fans like the most - accent laid on guitars and aggressive vocals. The 10 songs of which I liked Scarified, Animosity, Fall and Leave the best, all heavy kept in a style of Fear Factory or Prong. It's definitely the best album of the three of Klank I have come accross so far. Main predatory guitar riffs by Daren Diolosa, a guitar player from Circle of Dust, who cooperated with Scott Albert (theseday's Klayton from Celldweller). As an interesting note - the artwork was designed by Jim Marcus, a leader of Die Warzau, a Chicago based industrial rock band.

Downside |Tooth & Nail Records, 1997|
1. Downside, 2. Downside (Bleeding Born Mix), 3. Animosity (Death After Life Mix), 4. Downside (Whipcord Mix), 5. Animosity (Life After Death Mix)
Tooth & Nails it was a Christian music label but let's remember things were happening in America. Klank, in which the main role has been played by a former Circle of Dust guitarist Daren Diolosa has been on the scene for years. This CD contains remixes for Still Suffering album, of which Animosity (Death After Life Mix) and Downside (Whipcord Mix) sounded the best to me thanks to juicy guitars and samples used very gentle in the backgrounds to make the song sound just heavy. All of the remixes were made by Klayton from Celldwellera who was a leader for Circle of Dust and cooperated with Daren Diolosa in Argyle Park2 (AP2) project

Numb |SmokeDogg Productions, 1999|
1. G3 (Virtual Analog), 2. Penetrate, 3. No Answers/No Reasons, 4. God?, 5. Numb, 6. Bleed Me Dry, 7. Don't Like, 8. Blind, 9. So Very Real, 10. Penetrate (Ghetto Dance Mix), 11. Dark India Mix, 12. Animosity94 (Demo Version), 13. Untitled, 14. DFL (Down For Life)
In comparizon to previous Klank albums this one differs a lot because of more electronic music used for the songs what doesn't increase its attraction to me. I cannot list any one song which could draw my attention and make me return to the CD after some time later. "Numb" was released again in 2000 by Progressive Arts Music with two new songs. For collectors only.
