about

STEVE MONTOYA:

"THIS ONE IS ABOUT THE LIVE EXPERIENCE BETWEEN A BAND AND THE AUDIENCE AND ABOUT HOW WE ARE ALL THERE JUST TO ROCK AND HAVE A GOOD TIME. I BEGAN THINKING OF HOW ALL THE NOTES AND SOUNDS COMING FROM THE BAND ARE RAINING DOWN ON THE AUDIENCE LIKE MISSILES AND BULLETS IN A WAR. I THINK OF IT ALMOST AS A DREAM EXCEPT IN THE CHORUS I AM SAYING THIS ISN’T A DREAM. IT’S NOT AN ILLUSION. THIS IS REAL. METAL IS REAL."

lyrics

Feel the power of the night
Pounding rhythms taking flight
On with the show
Out of control
Get ready, pull the trigger
Here we go

It's not an illusion
This is for real
Full throttle confusion
Caused by heavy metal steel

Blind furry running wild
Racing through your body like a child
This awesome display will blow you away
As every note strikes upon it's prey

It's not an illusion
This is for real
Full throttle confusion
Caused by heavy metal steel

Hear the thunder in your mind
Massive walls of sound and rhyme
Song after song the beating is strong
This is where you know that you belong

It's not an illusion
This is for real
Full throttle confusion
Caused by heavy metal steel

US Doom Metal. I was not sure at first but that voice! It has no right to be so very addictive & hypnotic! My initial feeling could not have been more wrong! I am sold sold sold! I see they have another album out soon, I need to be there! Plus this is a debut - really?!? WoW!!! Highly recommended!!! bmurator
