Sometimes you get a CD to review that is neither horrid nor excellent. This CD is decent metal played well with decent songs.

The title track is typical, simple chorus fists in the air stuff. There is very much a Megadeth feel to this lot; especially on tracks like 'Bridge to Nowhere'. This is not in any sense a bad thing and there is enough on here to sink your teeth into.

They claim to have picked their name in response to nu-metal...they are the old school resistance. There is nothing wrong with trad West Coast metal and if you like it then you will like these guys. Having toured with a bunch of old school metallers it will be interesting to see if they will be able to take the next step at rise about the decent to the great.
