Let me start out by saying that this was the best metal Independent CD I have ever reviewed! I only had a couple complaints so I'll get them off my chest first and move on to the important stuff.

One thing I hate about todays metal is that guy that simply screams into the microphone. I want to jump up on the stage and cram that mic down his throught. If you can't say it without screaming it, then shut the F***k up and let someone else sing. Well, I quess I have given away my age with that one.

PROBLEM #1) Guitarist and singer Eric Nettleton has an amazing voice but when he starts that screaming stuff I want to call in a team from anger management to give him a lesson on signing with angst without screaming unrecognizable lyrics.

PROBLEM #2) The CD insert was full of information but the fancy font that was used made it near impossible to read the liner notes. I was able to read some of it but my eyes really struggled with it.

Now for the important stuff. This band knows how to rock! The band is a perfect combination of musical ability and song writing skills. I can even tolerate the screaming because it wasn't a huge part of the vocals. The dual guitar combo is in line with Iron Madden and Judist Priest as both guitarist are better together then apart and they play like they know their individual limitations.

Everything about this CD was first class. The studio recording at Grissly Studio's in California was near perfect. The CD artwork was done by band members Mike Boyer & Eric Nettleton. It is an amazing work of graphic art and represents the quality of the music inside the sleeve.

Conclusion:
I have to give this CD 5 stars! It was the BEST metal CD I have reviewed.
I will be adding this CD to the Top 25 Independent CD's of all times list. This great CD makes me feel that there is hope for Independent Metal to make a comeback.
