Another Frontiers created band that don’t really exist other than a studio project. This time they have brought together Michael Sweet from Stryper, and Tracii Guns from LA Guns. This is quite a heavy album and Tracii has written some killer riffs that range from speed metal, to very heavy old school Sabbath style tracks – like Take Me Away, which you’d swear was recorded in their Sabbaths prime years. Sweet’s vocals are awesome – he is really belting it out here.
This a very heavy album that neither of these two have done before. Tracii’s guitar work is a revelation throughout the album with epic riffage and ripping solos. My favourite track would be the title track, Evil And Devine. It has a killer riff and groove, and Sweet is really going for it. The production is awesome and Tracii gets bonus points for that. It would be cool if they would play this Live, but I can’t see that happening.
8.5/10 from The Grooveman.
