I first heard about this band many years ago from a friend and immediately judged them on there name, shit.I gave them a second chance as there supporting Exit Ten on a tour at the moment and I thought I should give them a listen and where to start but there most recent album "The Tide And Its Takers".
After giving it a full listen you think its nothing special but when you leave your computer or CD player and start doing other things you find yourself craving more of Brock Lindow's harsh yet pleasing voice.
The opening track "The All Night Lights" is a awe inspiring display of brutal breakdowns and melodic phrase's which pretty sets you up for the rest of the album and yet warns you of whats about to come next. The next few tracks are all brilliant and then when you reach "Clear The Coast" you just cant quite believe how good an album this is for a band with such a dire name. The next track after "Clear The Coast" is about as melodic the album gets and yet you still feel the adrenaline that this band brings coursing through your veins.
Overall a stunning album that deserves a palce in any metal fans collection.
8/10
For fans of: Still remains, Exit ten, Machine Head.
