A Metal Heritage for Young
America is an angry album that will appeal to fans of raw, unadulterated heavy metal
guitar and primal vocals. The band is an Atlanta-based unsigned group that has been
playing together for a few years now, and their polish definitely shows on the five-track
CD.
The titles on the CD include “Itch,” “Judge,” “Force,” “Our World,”
and “Bye Polar.” They are all a collection of furious lyrics and steel madness. This is
the music that you listen to when you’re ready to go into the mosh-pit and stomp on
people.
In other words, this CD is not going to be for everybody, and the
one downside to consider is that the album maintains the same energy and sound for almost
25 minutes.
While I really enjoyed hearing this album, I quit listening
close after track three “Force Fed.” I still banged my head and thumped my leg up and
down, but I could not tell the difference in tracks. My recommendation is to do two
things. First, go to their web site to hear
samples of the album. And, second, if you’re in the Atlanta area, check them out live—it
would definitely be worth your time.
