2nd album by Wardog. Tom Gatis and Chris Catero are delivering some very guitar-oriented songs, greatly inspired by the '80s, but with modern sound. The guitar really stands out with excellent highly technical pounding riffs and solos throughout the album. Great vocal delivery by Gatis and the drumming is very potent and very effective as well, a relentless, fast, rhythmic pounding that keeps you locked into the album.

1. Transgressor

8. Walking Fire
9. Speed Of Sound

2nd album by Liege Lord. While this effort lacks some of it’s predecessor’s charm, it does certainly continue their mark of quality. The style is not a huge departure from 'Freedom's Rise', but there is a darker element here and slight changes like the replacement of guitarist Pete McCarthy with Paul Nelson and vocalist Andy Michaud's performance that simply improved.

2nd album by Strapping Young Lad. Frontman Devin Townsend assembled a permanent lineup to record this album, including legendary Gene Hoglan, along with Townsend’s former bandmates Jed Simon on guitar and Byron Stroud on bass. The technical proficiency of each band member is amazing, to say the least. The riffs are killer and barely ever slow down enough.
