Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping up to a larger label for their sophomore effort, the Pacific Northwest quintet remarkably refined their vintage heavy metal assault. The album is propelled by electrifying dual-guitar harmonies and the raspy, commanding vocal delivery of Christine Davis, frequently drawing comparisons to early Iron Maiden or Diamond Head. It stands out in the modern retro-metal wave for its genuine grit, prioritizing raw attitude and memorable songwriting over pure nostalgia.
