Overdrive
Untitled release
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
Here's some good progressive, gothic metal. These five guys from Virginia are good songwriters. The vocals are limited by 8-track quality. There's some hot leads on "Hellbound"; and smokin' rhythms introducing "Living Sacrifice", and rippin' throughout the song. The lyrics are right-on statements, holding up Jesus and declaring Him the answer and the only Way. "Lady, why are you buying that stairway/ When the one He offers is free?...Who knows a Master who will wash His servants feet?/ Who knows a king who will die for His people?/ I do, I do." Great stuff. To order, send $8 to: PO Box 11153, Blacksburg VA 24060.
