Extol
Burial
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
One of the most talked-about bands in Christian metal today, rightfully so, is Extol. True metal power with amazing musical skill is presented here in sonic balance. While some of the drum sounds lack fullness, the churning guitars and wicked-sounding vocals fill things out a bit. Just as Believer demanded respect for its ability to maintain such technical brilliance at supersonic speeds, so Extol's Burial album deserves to be in every metal fan's collection. You won't be disappointed. For ordering info, write: Rad Rockers, PO Box 207, Milan MI 48160-0207
