Final Chapter
It Is Written
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
Taking on a straight-ahead metal sound with lots of vocals, Final Chapter reminds me of early Stryper heavy metal. Aggression is the oil that lubricates this band, from drummer David Osbourn down to the wailing vocals of Tripp Andrews. Of all the progressive metal custom tapes received lately, this one is the most impressive, from the well-written songs to the good sonics to the full-color packaging. The guitar leads of Gary Wilson seem well thought out and they sound good. Equally as impressive is the Latin-influenced bridge during "Come As You Are".
