Spawn of Dysfunction is the first album by nu metal trio Die So Fluid.[1][2] It was recorded at Criterion Studios, London, in November 2003 and released through the band's own label, Cartesian Records Ltd, in the United Kingdom in 2004. It was distributed by Cargo Records. The album was not released internationally until 2008. It was distributed by Renaissance Recordings in the USA and Universal Music Germany distributed it to several European countries. When originally purchased in the USA, a sticker on the front of the album said "The First Album from Die So Fluid Expanded U.S. Edition", although it has the same tracks.
Reception
[edit]Praising their "big sound", a 2012 review in Femme Metal Webzine said, "The lyrics are angry, the vocals are raw and in your face, as you would expect from this style of band. However, the song writing is quite creative, making this an exceptional album of the genre."[3]
