Terrible band name. Awful album title. Bad cover. Is it the soft focus ? Or the fact the guys on the front look like the type of metaller you'd rather slap than want to be. Musically it's pretty much the same although I won't be too harsh. Heavy Pettin' play a mediocre, lightweight metal which if anything would kill rock and not fight for it. It's half decent at the best of times, Def Leppard with a bit more energy I guess, 'Walking With Angels' quite uplifting and 'Soul Survivor' adds some pomp, but vocally there is a slight strain on the ear. Considered new wave metal at the time, but the last band you'd want fighting your corner in the name of rock.Friday 1 April 2011
