CD Review

By Stephen Blackwell / metal soldiers - May 22, 2006

(Review) 20Grit's BEYOND DISORDER CD Rocks.

Their music is a Heavy, Dark, Powerful. Awesome Metal/Rock. There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe this CD.

*So let's go visual. MEET DR. JECKEL and MR. HIDE!!

MR. HIDE rips you apart with pleasure on hard hitting songs like Beyond Disorder, Black Ashes, Come Alive, Nothing Can Stop Me, Round and Round.

Then the good DR. JECKEL sews you up during Sunset Night, Papa and Linda.. Jackie. These songs are masterful compliments blending musical feeling with instrumental technique.

The vocalist blows my mind on Round and Round with the evil dark laugh and then high pitch screams. This mad metal vocalist does not have a range limit.

Then you have Tommy Martin on guitar. He should be on the list of guitar gods. This dude is awesome and sounds like no other. He must be the best-kept secret in metal and rock. His sound is awesome, his playing is awesome, and his solo’s are awesome. I know what I want to be now when I grow up (LOL)

GO ORDER THIS CD AT www.20grit.com

And meet the DR and MR.HYDE
