Turbo, this is the one from Halifax, Canada, play down and dirty, rock 'n' rolling old-school heavy metal on this latest album. It's aggressive—though not so much as to be a turn-off for those who might be more on the hard rock side of the fence—high-octane, fast, unpolished metal that's very much in line with early bands of the genre, say second half of the '70s to the first few years of the '80s, including bands such as Motörhead, some of the faster NWOBHM bands as well as the more DIY, early metal bands from the U.S. This rocks a lot. The vocalist's gritty approach delivers surprisingly catchy and memorable vocal melodies, and the occasional backing vocals are often reminiscent of mid-80s "party" metal, very upbeat and singalong-inducing. The guitar work has everything people like in old heavy metal, a rather raw style filled with cool solos and riffs that stick in your head long after they're over. You'd tell me this was released more than 40 years ago and I would believe you. A fun time from beginning to end.
