St. Asylem
[demo]
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
Good, fun rockin'! Energetic, tight melodic metal like early Van Halen; but not with the cutting edge delivery compared to those boys (a little loose and sloppy in places). There's some good double-bass drumming. The guitar leads are sufficient - not real creative, but show some technical skill. "Woe To The Wicked" is a good example of the potential and pitfalls of this band. The verses have a mighty fine hook, but when the chorus hits (where most often the biggest hook is supposed to grab ya), the song pummels on. To order this 4-song, well-packaged custom tape, send $5.50 to: Joey Edwards, 6110 E 5th St #219, Tucson AZ 85711.
