    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.

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

    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]

    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.
