When The Dragon Is Finally Laid To Rest

It's cool to see this band getting another release out on the market, and one that's done right, as they churn out some fast and spirited punk rock. Did I say it was fast? 14 punk rock songs and one spiritual ditty clock in at 32 minutes and 10 seconds. You tell me if it's fast. And what's even better is that they're so into proclaiming Christ. As their lyrics state, "hardcore for Christ / not hardcore for a scene." Many of the lyrics deal with living righteously and honestly before God, sometimes lamenting over the hardcore suffering in this world, like in the "Streets of Philadelphia." The production sounds really good, providing a mix that showcases each instrument and the rapid-delivery vocals in a clean (but not too clean) environment. Ever the proficient cover band, this release offers the classic "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" in a style that would make a band like The Ramones proud. When it comes to old school punk, there's no flies on these guys. [Bulletproof/ DV]
