The Age of Mastery

Century Media

Now THIS is some shredding. These guitar players are wacky! I love fast guitar stuff. However, I hate the bios that Century Media sends out on the back of the promo disc sleeves. The drummer is pretty quick at double-bass, though… so I’ll forgive the bio. Those guitar licks are wicked fast! They remind me of an out of control pinball game or something. These guys must be wrapped up in a lengthy campaign of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. Their lyrics are like, “Beware! The Lamb and the beast! The dead will rise!” I was particularly fond of the vocals on the title track. Especially the first verse. Oh, man. “Viper! Ahhhhh!” Century Media, 1453-A 14th St., Suite 324, Santa Monica, CA 90404; http://www.centurymedia.com
