From the first riff theirs no doubting what these guys are about. If you like your metal old school?, you'll love this cd. It's got it all really when it comes to just straight ahead metal. The only thing that took me a while to warm up to was the vocals. They seem a bit over done at times which sort of takes a little umph out of the overall vibe. I'm not sure if it's bassist doing the back up vocals or the main singer, but one of them needs to chill just a tad.All in all though, this is a very good listen.Pick it up!!
