    The irony police already have an APB out on these dudes... but in reality, the old guard are just jealous because they didn't think of it first. [Dec 2005, p.206]

    That they can create such a heavy sound with just two people is nothing short of genius.

    Closing In is a classic guitar-driven heavy metal record. It's a throwback to early 80s thrash, the era before speed often became a substitute for creative ideas.

    So easy to just sit back and simply Rock. Yes it is nostalgic but its been a while since anyone has done something so basic and unpretentious.

    sounds like death from above 1979 mixing with metallica,slayer,and sabbath....and that's not a good thing at all.
