I liked it so much I've just ordered it!!

Just listening now....sounds very cool....very cool indeed.
I do hope they get a U.S. distro deal.

I hope that they get this in the USA as well. I'd pick it up if it comes to our side of the big pond.

Wow- that really sounds good! Has a 70's vibe to it almost like Modest Attraction. But I agree with Chris in that I hope it gets distribution here in the States because I cannot afford the Nordic Mission prices.

OK- that works!

This time I'm lucky because I can pay in Euros.
I like Sarepta too.
Great find Fundy.

I've listened to these sample tracks a few times now, and I really think this is going to be a great album. Maybe this year will end up being a great metal year after all.

The more you listen to those songs the more I like them.

Really like those samples. Hope they at least get a cheaper download soon.

Check out Smokin Vineyard on Youtube. That is a classic song. Love the lead singers vocals, as they're REALLY powerful and the pounding music to that song is brilliant.

Man that is fantastic....gonna have to move this album towards the top of my "must have" list.

Glad I worked out a CD swap with a certain European friend of mine. This one is one the way....sort of.

Very cool. but a little pricey for this cheapskate

Been listening to it for the last couple of days. And it's great! Apart from Theocracy this could have been a real contender for album of the year.

Favourite tracks...

Thirst Of Life, Smokin' Vineyard Part II (that one on Youtube) and God Gave Rock N Roll To You.

Good points - Great vocals, great lyrics (what I can make out so far), Great music, good production values

Only bad point is - no lyrics (which is always a pain)

Fundy

This cheapskate is happy now...

I have listened to this now a couple of times. On some songs, they remind me of Whitesnake. Others, you can hear the Deep Purple sound. Still yet, I can hear some old Y&T. The vocalist also reminds me of Darrell Mansfield. Throw all of that into a blender, and you get Sarepta. I like it!

The more I listen to "Smokin' Vineyard" the more I like this band.
I like this mix .

Although not written by them, the song All My Tears is wonderful...

When I go don't cry for me
In my fathers arms I'll be
The wounds this world left on my soul
Will all be healed and I'll be whole

Sun and moon will be replaced
With the light of Jesus' face
And I will not be ashamed
For my savior knows my name

It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away

Gold and silver blind the eye
Temporary riches lie
Come and eat from heaven's store
Come and drink and thirst no more

So weep not for me my friend
When my time below does end
For my life belongs to him
Who will raise the dead again

It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away

...and I'm STILL really digging this album. This has all the hallmarks of an album of the year. As long as Theocracy has a serious delay!!!

If it's beefy sounding enough, that new X-Sinner may knock this from it's perch. Menchen or even a new Saint CD might. But, regardless of who the band is, it's really going to have to be an amazing project to make me think less of this one.

This album is my number 1 .

I'm listening to the samples, and this is right up my alley! Unfortunately, it's "out of stock".
