Details: Normally I’m not a fan of pressing demos to
vinyl, but this is certainly an exception. These chaps are from Austin and play
some ripping metal-tinged D-beat. The vocals have a cool, tunnel-y echo effect
and the riffs are bona fide (although a couple of the solos are a bit over
indulgent). You need solid guitar work in bands like this; otherwise the songs
can be super-generic and instantly forgettable.
Luckily, these guys can really shred. I’m stoked to see this band at Chaos in
Tejas and am expecting that their live show will meet, if not exceed, the
ardent nature of this records. Highly recommended for everyone, not just genre
fans. MRR
