I loved the Banquet 7” on the Who can you Trust label and
was excited to hear this new full length record from this San Francisco band.
The CD/LP contains 7 tracks of good hard rocking stuff staring off with Mastermind.
High energy track with some great guitar soloing switching back and forth
between each side. Awesome starter. Sword of Damocles is almost like a NWOBHW
track. Run to You (on the 7” mentioned above) reminds me of Brutus and guys
like Lecherous Gaze! Good foot stomping hard rocking with good dual guitar
dynamics. Set me Free keeps the hard rocking groove going but it slows down
with a lot of cool guitar solos some with some nice effects on them to change
the sound up a bit. It gets a bit doomy
at the end. Burning Bridges is a sort of
heavy blues ballad to strart but builds up into something that reminds me of
the Golden Void (Issiah’s from Earthless’s other bands). Great track.. Maybe
the best on the record! Touching the Grave has some killer action and fans of
Horizont will dig this track as it is a
hard rocking speed rocker (without the high pitched vocal!), which takes a
bluesy slowed down twist til the end. Lots
of great harmony guitar all the time by this band. Jupiter Rose ends the record
with a slow building ballad of sort. This is a really kick ass record. I got
into every track.. Get it….
