Sovereign Steel
[demo]
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
This North Texas band, who opened up for Vengeance Rising last month, got their name in a Heaven's Metal "Name the Band" contest a few years ago. The band has evolved into a heavy Thrash outfit with a good grasp of a groove. The second tune here, which poses the thought-provoking statement, "Eternity is a lot longer than you think," has a crunchy low end power to it. Dino, the lead guitarist, lays down some sizzling solos. The vocals are somewhat annoying on the high notes, but palatable on the lower parts. For ordering info, write: 1101 S. Mississippi, Atoka OK 74525.
