Review

This is a band from China who somehow ended up in Atlanta, Georgia, playing a pretty stripped-down variety of Heavy Metal. The riffs are standard, the recording is decent, and the vocals are bad. This reminds me of stuff like Brocas Helm or Heavy Load, so their hearts are in the right place, and a love for '80s metal is all over this album, but the songwriting is just so cliched it's hard to find anything to latch onto. If they had a decent singer, they might be able to upgrade to a band worth hearing, but maybe not. I hate to crap on indie bands, but there it is.
