Fuck it. I am going to go ahead and say that this record is perfect. I love every song on this, from the raging Diamond Head riffs, on over to the Inepsy riffs, to the somewhat thin sound to the singer inflecting in the same way over and over again. This band from Olympia, WA also released a demo and 7" beforehand, that are also great. People have been talking up the 7", but personally, I think this LP is even better. I think hey have stepped up to the next level on their song writing and vocals. I love the breakdown in Home In The Sun and the riffing in Black Vigil is Diamond Head worthy. We also get perfect closure when they bring it on home with the epic ballad, Omega Stone. This is a classic metal record!
They are touring right now with The Thrones, catch them if you can.

Order at 20 Buck Spin. I believe the 7" is still available as well.
Special thanks to Brandon for giving Laser a copy of the CM album, if it were not for this, Laser wouldn't have opened my eyes to this!
