Free Music Review: Decent Metal But Not Fulton Hill
Hit: 3 Stars
ATP's Fulton Hill is one of my favorite albums and I am fond of my Exhorder CD's, so maybe I came to Open Fire with excessively high expectations, but it didn't deliver what I liked about either group. It does not revisit the Sabbath-in-Alabama boogie metal of early ATP, let alone the astonishing variety of Fulton Hill. Nor does it deliver the rhythm-driven, pre-Pantera metal of Exhorder. And forget about the fabulous marriage of the two that I imagined (which on reflection probably sounded a lot like Down's first album). The music is more like what you would expect from the artwork: theatrical metal mixing gravelly vocals with screams that at times edge a little too close to the 80s (perhaps because they are layered?). Sorta like Judas Priest after simmering it for two decades and adding a dash of the U.S. South. The guitar work is still impressive and some of the songs have catchy riffs and/or catchy melodies, so I'm sure I'll pop Open Fire into the CD player every once in a while to keep from burning out on my other ATP discs, but it's far from the high point of their catalogue.
Open Fire Poster
Veteran metal warriors ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY return to the international arena armed with new vocalist Kyle Thomas (ex- EXHORDER, FLOODGATE) and the devastating new album Open Fire. Open Fire's 11 song charge sees ATP honed into a leaner, meaner, and wholly more-metallic killing machine. Tracks like Words of the Dying Man, Valor, Whiskey War and None Shall Return impact with the subtlety of a hammer to the head and stay embedded there long after. Spearheaded by Thomas' powerful battle cries and the burning fret-work of guitar-hero-in-the-making Ryan Lake, Open Fire is undeniably ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY's masterwork and follows through on their promise of delivering the finest metal this side of the hard rock classics.Alternative Rock Music CDs
