    Wow! These guys, with their tough, rapcore, metal image really shocked me with the lead-off cut on their new disc - "Flyin'" - which sounds like an Ozzy Osbourne commercial number. Tastefully done and not cheesed out. Melodic and competent, but not very aggressive. Where's the blood-curdling passion? Wish it was here, then this would be over the top. Compared to some of Ozzy's mid-80's album releases, though, it's not bad.

    HM Magazine #76Reviewed by Doug Van PeltI'll give you three guesses as to what book and chapter of the Bible these guys are named after. Straight-ahead hard rock and metal is used here, sometimes at a fairly plodding pace. The vocals remind me a little of old school bullies Blue Oyster Cult. This is the crowd that will get into these guys. Pretty good instrumentation and vocals.
