Death By Stereo

Day of the Death

Epitaph

Hmm, a record cover that not only has various band members in mid-stagejump, but also imprinted with a logo that incorporates not only a skull, but lightning bolts, too? This cannot be a very good sign. The first song, with its “Die!” refrain and wanky metal soloing, does not bode well for this release. More punk by kids who listened to way too much metal in their formative years. Still, wanky guitaring aside, this isn’t terrible, just way too metal for my tastes.

John Wayne’s final movie sees the cowboy actor go out on a high note, in The Shootist, one of his best performances.
