Straightway
One Way to Heaven
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
This five-piece band from is causing some excitement in Houston, Texas with their brand of commercial metal. While not up to radio-airplay production, it's close. The songs have good hooks, hot guitars, a nice blend of keys, and tight BGV's. This is a band to keep a watch on. If they keep cranking away, their sound will reach perfection. Best cuts are: "Come Back" and the title track. "Wounded Heart" has an interesting storyline in it for metal lyrics. It's a cry from a child suffering from child abuse and some comforting assurance that "The Lord is coming and He's near." Send $8 to Straightway Ministries, PO Box 24280, Houston TX 77279.
