CD Review by: Metal Maniacs Magazine

Date: November, 2006 CD: Randall Flagg "Issue #1" Reviewer: Dave Brenner Firing Squad (demo reviews: the best (and the rest) of the unsigned) Randall Flagg. Randall Flagg Is Coming. When Divine Rapture is the only previous band noted in their member bios, one might expect Randall Flagg to be some iniquitous death metal band.... and one might be very wrong. Randall Flagg is more akin to the knife-in-the-gut riff-churning spasms of Botch, early Drowningman and Keelhaul meshed with the early '90s, post-hardcore stylings of Snapcase, Quicksand, Refused and even Helmet. Crystal-goddamn-clear production and perfectly sequenced time changes revolve around the record's constant groove. The promo comes in a kickass, comic theme mock up and left me miles from what I initially expected from a band I've heard mentioned a hundred times and never encountered.
