It’s a cool thing when grizzled veterans of the metal wars collide and try their hand at the power metal they themselves had a hand in creating in the ’80s.
Tremolo bar diving solos, thunderous drumming and half-steppin’ thrash riffs galore, and snakespit vocals you can’t understand but sound really bad-ass.
Sexy, super-fast tunes like “Take You On,” “Poor Betty Blue” and “Let’s Get Stupid” sound kinda like what Pat Benetar woulda sounded like fronting a punk band.
Staying on the heavy side even when slowing down and getting breathy (more Tool than Top 40), and while tirading a bit, never shrieking uncontrollably.
