Cost: $1.00

As you can tell from the blog, I don't have a great track record with independent releases. If something looks like it has a chance of being metal, I will generally buy it to be on the safe side. Since these are bargain bin discs, taking a chance is no big deal, but let's be honest--most of the time blind purchases end up being disappointments. This on the other hand, was a total victory.
I will say the silly band name made me hesitate a little even though the layout (in all its pixelated, photoshopped glory) and songtitles looked promising. I was worried this would just be hard rock, but nope--solid Sabbath and Maiden (especially in the first song) inspired straightforward heavy metal. I have no problem with the vocals, but they're in a style I would associate more with doom metal, rather than typical traditional HM vox.
