Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring the soaring acrobatics of vocalist Michael Vescera, this Connecticut-based quintet delivered a highly charged iteration of American traditional metal. 'Methods of Madness' balances blistering twin-guitar attacks with triumphant, fist-pumping choruses. The record stands as a formidable, if slightly overlooked, classic of the East Coast heavy metal scene.
