Review by: Alex Deller
Rugged, varied metal from these four Canadian fellas. Opening track ‘A Familiar Face’ starts things off in widdly Baroness style while elsewhere you get flashes of modern thrash, brow-furrowed grooving that falls somewhere between Pantera and Down and, with ‘Black Brubeck’, odd banjo incursions alongside some vaguely Alice In Chains-y grousing. Truth be told I’m not gaga for it “” it could do with some extra heft and a bit more direction “” but things hang together well and are played with enough skill to suggest that while perfection might be a way off there’re at least signs of promise.
