In case you are wondering, CJSS are the initials of the last names of each of the members of the band. I’m sure the only one you will have heard of is band leader and guitar whizz, David T Chastain, unless you are the parents of the other three.
As far as I’m aware, this is the band’s second release (although Mr. Chastain has released a million solo albums) which came out in ’86 and it’s fairly representative of US metal at that time, but with lots of shred in every spare space. There is no doubt Mr. Chastain is a very talented guy who can shred with the best of them. Highlights from the album are the thrash grooves of Don’t Play With Fire with a suitably insane solo, Citizen Of Hell is quite cool as they are trying some odd grooves which are quite ahead of their time, and my personal favourite track is the gloriously over the top Metal Forever. Indeed it is!
7.5/10 from The Grooveman.
