Here is a band of many talents from Akron, Ohio. Vocalist Jim goes after various styles. For example, when he sings normally, he could almost pass for an opera singer due to his deep voice, and when he sings aggressively, you'd swear it was Guy Ritter singing.
The band is interesting as well. Categorically speaking, they're straight-ahead metal, but at times a thrash sign is thrown in. Then, at other times, they show their eclectic side, which makes for an interesting musical approach. There are five songs, my favorite of which is "Anorexic." If you're looking for something a little different, here is something worth checking into. For ordering info, write: PO Box 9106, Akron, OH 44305.
