Review

Debut from this French band who are digging into the classic vein of Heavy/Speed Metal. Unpolished and vibrant, this just kicks with the unrepentant glee of a bunch of guys who just want to fucking rock. There is the expected Maiden lineage to some of the riffs, but really this reminds me more of bands like Wolf, Ravage, Riot, or Ram. They definitely have a dash of US Metal in there along with that Swedish taste for hard rock strut. I mean, when a band calls a song "Rock Muscle," you know they are not taking themselves too seriously. And yes, it's about exactly what you would expect. But don't think this is a joke band, because there are some hard-edged killers on here like "Resistance" and "Shoot to Kill." If you love classic '80s Speed Metal, then this is a band that shows a huge amount of promise.
