    Punk rockers arise! If this is your style of music, Groans of Aniam is for you.

    I, not being one for this type of music, must say I liked some of it. The beginning of "Big Bang" has a great funk feel to it. I also enjoyed "Day of the Innocence" - "Who could conceive/we could just believe/and leave everything to the Father." It's a great tune about racial prejudice.

    This trio from Canada has this style down. If only the production wouldn't have been so bass happy I might have enjoyed this even more. Good effort!

    Heaven's Metal #32Reviewed by Stephen WagersAlright! Cool Christian skate rock from the land of the Doughboys/S.N.F.U. (Canada). This gruesome foursome delivers good tasty skate crunch with melody a la Chemical People/Descendants in a way so that old punks like yours truly can reminisce. Thanks guys, for making me feel old! (Ha!) This being another band that I demand to be signed. Keep skatin' against Satan boys.
