About Me

Summoned by the ancient masters to deliver heavy metal to all the righteous of the planet.
Yyyyaarrrr, methinks I'm ready prepared ta' storm yer' shores after some DarkBlack be in me, matey! A grade-A power-thrash release of metallic purity that shows this (formerly) Lancaster, PA trio burying the ideals of today's metal and stripping it down to the early age of soaring, memorable solos and foot-tapping, shag-banging, heavy metal extract. Manowar, Dio and Maiden are immediate comparisons, but within these traditional structures, lies some disharmonic innovation where microelements of murky death and black influences surface. A crunching influx of odd amplification and non-prefab templates with minimal repetition set this up for fans of Wolf, Slough Feg, and Goat Horn as well as your standard "metal gods." So quit bitchin' and start boozin.' The classic aesthetics of these thrash-revitalizing powermongers will have you pillaging the local alehouse in metal glory. Walk the plank...
