Besides loving the geeky Dungeons and Dragons inspired title of this CD, not to mention the great band name, the metalcore stylings on show are some of the best I have heard.

Not necessarily a fan of the genre, there is something a little bit special about this lot.

Obviously inspired by the likes of Pantera et al but with a smattering of traditional metal in the musicianship, this band is not just a bunch of wanna-bes. They are not afraid to show their humorous side with their titles like "Magnets are for Lovers".

This is serious bludgeon metalcore that takes no prisoners and does not do so subtlety. A bit of maturing could turn this lot into quite an impressive outfit. Only time will tell.
