Great band name, yet I know little about this super little band. I'm aware of a Columbian act from the '80s, yet this is a Canadian sect, but this is a record that needs checking out. Imagine a doomy Judas Priest, strong vocals, gloomy riffs, classic heavy metal pounding, anthemic yet at times sombre in its epic nature. One moment a St. Vitus thud, 'Blitzkrieg' is catchy yet ominous, rising like some uncoiling serpent. 'Burn With Burn' hits the hurdles hard, taking ground with it as it gallops, and judders to a rattling halt, and the badly titled 'Sleazy Easy' begins slow and ponderous like a rehearsal, bringing to mind Zeppelin at their most subtle before spiralling into a kaleidoscope of guitars, and again, I can't help but think of a more melodic St. Vitus after a few pick me ups! A cracking record that not many metallers will have the joy to own unfortunately...
7.5/10
