Listened to this 3 times today and it was like a relentless barage of awesomeness. 

2024 has finally begun 😉

One spin through, and it sounds pretty good. Why have I not heard of these guys?

[auslander]

Those GANG vocals!!! Love it.

I went looking for the album and they have already released about 4 others... never heard of them before either.

[Darkstone]

Yeah, "Striker" is a quality band.

I love this earlier track.

Well, it's even more annoying for me, considering they're from the next province over. Canadian radio is a sack of dicks. These guys would never get played, or even promoted on radio.

[Stefan]

They released this excellent song in 2022 and it didn't make the new album for some unknown reason.

Edit: 'Strange Love' is a bonus track on the CD version of the new album.

I just heard the breakdown/solo section in ‘Blood Magic’ and my balls splattered all over the car. Like Glen said, album is just huge and it’s as if they’re saying “I dare you not to dig this.” Only a few songs in, but sounds massive in every way. 

[auslander]

This is the place to get it, especially if you live in North America...

I take it back. Just ordered the CD and shipping was only $9 to Australia. That is very decent. Hope it arrives soon so I can rock out!

Ordered it too , along with Play To Win as I don't have that one either...worked out at £28 for both inc postage  

[tobi is an animal]

album does absolutely nothing for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

[whiplash1972]

So I guess they started moving in a more melodic direction with 2018's Play to Win? Prior to that, everything I'd heard from them was speed/straight metal (and not really that good IMO), so I stopped paying attention to them. 🤷 New stuff is pretty good.

New video for 'Sucks To Suck' and the rest of the album. Sounds awesome!

Nope. No confirmation. Just an email confirming the order.

[auslander]

Mine arrived today in the post. Not bad for postage time to Australia! How cool is the bonus silver embossed cover art card? I put it in the front of the CD and it looks absolutely sweet. Gonna play this LOUD now.

[lettard]

It fucking sounds great...that big sound...love it...enjoy 

[lettard]

My bad...but I just noticed that the cd contains 3 bonus tracks(doh!)  ...Deathwish/Take The Money And Run are excellent too.

Picked up “Ultrapower”, “Play to Win”, and the self titled discs directly from the band’s website, and have been listening to them on and off over the last week or so. LOVE “Ultrapower”, and “Play to Win”, but haven’t really warmed up to the self titled. Got “Stand in the Fire” on its way too. Overall, really enjoying their recent output. 

[Glen]

bonus tracks are excellent
