![]() ![]() Date: April 29th, 2006 CD: Randall Flagg "Issue #1" Reviewer: CDbaby.com Staff One of the more interesting metal albums we've had come through here in quite some time, Randall Flagg's "Issue #1" shakes together a blood-boiling combination of hardcore and death metal that's unapologetically in-your-face and yet carefully structured and thoughtfully written. Drawing from artists such as Bleeding Through, Killswitch Engage and Atreyu, the slight crossover into hard rock gives their sound an accessible entry point for all kinds of fans. While they can cut loose like any other metal band, their sense of holding a song together and making it go somewhere with clarity is especially noticeable. This is undoubtedly our #1 metal pick of the past several months. |
