    This band plays a definite straight-ahead Heavy Metal style with garage-like simplistic songwriting that hovers over them like an "Under Construction" sign. "Don't Play With Fire" has some very direct lyrics concerning the dangers of messing with darkness. "Victim" talks about the deception of racism and how people can become a victim of a deceptive mindset like White Supremacy. Different... "Armor Of God" is the best tune, sonic-wise, of this 7-song cut, but the structure is your basic Metal formula and doesn't really impact you with intensity or passion. For ordering info, write: 17579 Mesa St, Ste. A-105, Hesperia CA 92345.
