Alright just for starters I don’t understand the Ivan Moody W.A.S.P. reference on this listing. Also by now you may have noticed I don’t give bad reviews this is because I don’t buy s**t I won’t like. A big shout out and thanks go to Sleazy Dan for introducing me to this band’s music while working for me in a North Brisbane warehouse many years ago. OK, now on with the review. I must admit I was originally put off this band because of the name but eventually figured why not give ‘em a go and I’m so glad I did. Not since A7X’s album “Waking the Fallen” (highly recommended) have I felt such a close personal connection to an entire album. This is METAL at its best, great orchestration and lyrical content all done in an awesomely strong and aggressive way. This album (as the name suggests) hits you hard and fast from the get-go, with most of the album hitting pretty close to home (for me anyway). Dealing with everything from religious views, states of mental health, family values/upbringing, frustration, loneliness and sense of self-worth/loathing this album has fast become one of my favourite albums of all time. It was on the strength of this album that I went out and bought the rest of their catalogue. They’re all good too, I can highly recommend adding them to any Metalheads collection. They’re also not too repetitive like some other bands whom shall remain nameless. Although one of my favourite songs from the guys is their cover of “Bad Company”, they also have so much much more to offer within their own stuff. These guys really strike at the heart of my love of real Metal and I can’t thank them enough for it. Unfortunately I feel that I may have found them too late to ever see them perform live :'( If any of the guys get to read this review I’d have to say “PLEASE guys come to Brisbane even it’s only for one last time so I can bask in the glory of the Fist and the Death Punch Sound”. Thanks for the Metal. \m/, Rgds, Mick Read full review
