Most High
Untitled release
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
This four-song tape features some professional, blues-based heavy metal with some truth-proclaiming, evangelistic lyrics. Vocalist Rich Basinger sounds quite a bit like vocalist Jack Russell of Great White, with lots of range and bottom-end. Guitarist Roland Fife recorded a good guitar tone, with just the right amount of heavy metal crunch. These four musicians have been playing for several years, and it shows up here with what seems like a relaxed performance. It's loose and has energy and space, yet remains tight chop-wise. Nothing spectacular, just solid. Most High is very active playing live in Ohio, which means they're only getting better. This tape is one of those rare custom releases that you just have to get a hold of. To do that, send $5 to: Most High, PO Box 1791, Warren OH 44482 (Please make checks payable to Most High).
